Republican lawmakers are increasingly urging Ohio Rep. Max Miller to resign and leave his re-election race amid abuse allegations by his ex-wife, which Miller denies. Miller asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate, and the committee has opened an investigation.
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of physical abuse; the article says her allegations are described in court documents and that Miller has denied them. He sued Moreno for defamation after a Daily Mail report, and her lawyers have moved to dismiss the suit. Miller also addressed the allegations in a livestream and voluntarily asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate. He said he had “absolutely nothing to hide.”
Moreno’s father, Sen. Bernie Moreno, publicly condemned Miller and said he should not serve in the House. Republican Sens. Tim Sheehy, Jon Husted, Katie Britt and Roger Marshall also criticized Miller or called for him to resign or leave the race. Husted said Miller would be unfit for office if guilty of domestic violence; other senators voiced support for Moreno or said they supported calls for Miller to resign.
