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 remain in the reelection race. The dispute is adding pressure around a closely watched Ohio House seat.
Moreno publicly condemned his former son-in-law, Miller, saying he should not serve in the House and should seek professional help. Miller denied abusing his former wife and daughter in a video posted Sunday, released investigative and court documents related to their custody dispute, and said he would remain in the race. The allegations have been public for years, but the dispute has recently drawn increased scrutiny.
A spokesperson for Miller’s ex-wife called the video shameful. President Donald Trump said the allegations were accusations so far and that he would look into them. Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said someone facing such accusations did not belong in the halls of power. Democrats have called for Miller to resign and requested a congressional ethics investigation; Republicans were reportedly discussing potential replacements if he left the race.
