Rep. Max Miller said he will ask the House Ethics Committee to investigate domestic abuse allegations against him, saying he wants to clear his name. His ex-wife has accused him of harming her and their daughter, allegations he denies.
Miller said Tuesday that he would file paperwork asking the House Ethics Committee to investigate the allegations. He described them as attacks on himself and his family and said he had nothing to hide. His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of physically harming her and their daughter; Miller has denied the accusations.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, Emily Moreno’s father, has called for Miller to leave the House. The allegations returned to public attention in July after Mother Jones published police reports and court filings concerning the couple’s daughter. Miller is running for reelection, and Politico reported that the Ethics Committee was unlikely to issue a report before the election.
