The chief executive of Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been accused of making antisemitic remarks by his ex-wife.

It is claimed that conservative filmmaker and media boss Stephen Bannon said he did not want his daughters "going to school with Jews".

In a court statement in 2007, Mr Bannon's former wife, Mary Louise Piccard, also alleged that he had not wanted his girls to attend a top Los Angeles private school because "he doesn't like Jews and he doesn't like the way they raise their kids to be 'whiny brats'."

A spokeswoman for Mr Bannon denied the allegations. "Mr Bannon never said anything like that," she said.
