Sen. Bernie Moreno called for Rep. Max Miller to leave Congress amid abuse allegations, and Miller denied the allegations in a livestream while saying he would remain in the reelection race.
Bernie Moreno publicly called for Max Miller to step down, saying Miller failed the standards of character for elected office and should seek professional help. Moreno had declined to give a direct opinion on the allegations a few days earlier.
Miller denied the allegations in a livestream, said no court or agency had substantiated them and no criminal charge had been filed, and said he would remain in the race. The article reports allegations made by Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and former girlfriend Stephanie Grisham; Miller’s ex-wife also testified earlier this year in a defamation lawsuit he filed against her.
