9 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Speaker Mike Johnson said the House should let the Ethics Committee address allegations against Rep. Max Miller; Miller denies them, and the committee has opened an investigation. Left-leaning outlets emphasize Johnson’s refusal to condemn Miller or urge him to leave the race, often presenting his response as inadequate. Center outlets focus more on the ethics process and give descriptive accounts of the allegations and responses, with some also noting lawmakers’ limited public comment.
