Rep. Max Miller faces renewed domestic-abuse allegations, which he denied in a livestream; the article reports that most House Republicans have avoided weighing in. The allegations also raise questions about his reelection campaign and the Ohio race.
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of abuse, including pouring hot water on her and pushing her against a wall. Miller denied the allegations in a livestream and said they had been investigated without substantiation or criminal charges. The article also cites reporting that Moreno told police she could not rule out Miller’s involvement in their child’s broken collarbone.
Rep. Kat Cammack called the allegations serious and troubling, while saying an Ethics Committee investigation might not be appropriate for a matter concerning a member’s personal life. Sen. Bernie Moreno said Miller should not serve in the House, and Rep. Yassamin Ansari called for his resignation. The article describes the race as Likely Republican and says Miller faced an Aug. 5 deadline to withdraw, while he said he would continue his campaign.
