The court documents even highlight Bill’s demands of his wife and small children to live within a certain area in Illinois or face a $50,000 fine. The judge on the case said Bill’s demands sounded like he was trying to hold someone “hostage.”

NRCC Statement: “Bill Foster’s reaction to being questioned on his abusive past is truly troubling. Not only has he never explained why he thought it was okay to abuse his wife, he now thinks it’s a laughing matter. Bill Foster’s disturbing view of what’s right and wrong makes him unfit to represent Illinois in Congress.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
