R gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Bush "admits to violently attacking his first wife" (Daily Mail 2018)
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-5775305/George-W-Bushs-cousin-admits-attacking-wife-marriage.htmlCourt documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday reveal that Jonathan Bush, nephew of former President George H. W. Bush and cousin of former President George W. Bush, confessed to ‘numerous physical altercations’ with former wife Sarah Seldon including ‘repeatedly slamming his closed fist into her sternum [breastbone]… just inches from their baby’.
The details of Bush’s domestic abuse were filed with the Massachusetts family court during a 2006 custody battle over the couple’s five children. The former Mrs Bush alleged that Mr Bush had ‘struck her on numerous occasions, once causing a black eye’.
A second submission claims that Bush’s behaviour had become ‘more and more aggressive and hostile’.
It says that he had ‘screamed at her, directly into her face, calling her a “whore”… while pushing her into the wall and repeatedly slamming his closed fist into her sternum, his hand landing just inches from their baby who was crying. The wife testified that she was very afraid for her own safety and that of the child in her arms.’
