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 his reelection race. The dispute is drawing attention to the Ohio seat and possible Republican replacements.
Sen. Bernie Moreno said Miller, his former son-in-law, should not serve in the House and should seek professional help. Miller defended himself in a live video, denied abusing his former wife and daughter, and said he would remain in his reelection race. President Donald Trump said he would look at the allegations.
Miller said he had nothing to do with his daughter’s broken collarbone; the article says court filings and police reports offered different accounts of how the injury occurred. A spokesperson for Emily Moreno called Miller’s video shameful. Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said that someone facing such accusations does not belong in office. Republicans were also discussing possible replacements if Miller left the race.
