Rep. Max Miller said he would seek a House Ethics Committee investigation of himself amid abuse allegations from his ex-wife. Miller denies the allegations, while his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno, has called for him to resign.
Miller said he planned to file paperwork for an ethics investigation into himself, saying he wanted to clear his name. His ex-wife has alleged abuse and, in a recent court filing, sought a restraining order; Miller denied the allegations in a video and said records he released showed they could not be substantiated.
Moreno called for Miller to resign, citing concerns for his family’s safety. Miller’s attorney took responsibility for releasing sensitive information among the documents, calling it an “unfortunate mistake” and disputing the characterization of an image involving the couple’s daughter. Miller is also running for re-election against Brian Poindexter.
