Rep. Max Miller said he would ask the House Ethics Committee to investigate him, while refusing to leave his congressional race amid abuse allegations he denies. Sen. Bernie Moreno called for Miller to be removed from Congress, and Miller’s attorney accepted responsibility for a file that allegedly included a photo of Miller’s daughter.
Miller said he would file paperwork requesting an ethics investigation into himself, saying he wanted to clear his name. His announcement came near the deadline for him to leave the race and allow Ohio Republicans to arrange a replacement candidate. His former partner, Emily Moreno, has accused him of abuse during their custody dispute; Miller has repeatedly denied the allegations.
The article reports that Emily Moreno’s attorneys questioned how a photo of their daughter appeared in a folder Miller shared. Miller’s attorney said he alone was responsible for assembling and reviewing the folder’s contents and apologized to the family. Sen. Bernie Moreno called for Miller to be removed from Congress, while Miller declined to leave the race and accused his ex-wife of lying. President Trump said he would look at the allegations and described them as accusations.
