Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House as Miller defended himself against domestic abuse allegations and said he would stay in his reelection race. The dispute has drawn attention to the Ohio seat, with Democrats calling for Miller to resign and requesting an ethics investigation.
Moreno said Miller failed the standards of character required for elected office and urged him to seek professional help. Miller denied abusing his former wife and daughter in a live video, said he would remain in the race, and released investigative and court documents related to the custody dispute. Emily Moreno has alleged that Miller scalded, hit and threatened her; Miller denied those allegations.
President Donald Trump said the allegations were still accusations and that he would look into them. A spokesperson for Emily Moreno called Miller’s video shameful, while Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said people facing such accusations do not belong in positions of power. Democrats have called for Miller to resign and requested a congressional ethics investigation.
