Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House as Miller denied domestic-abuse allegations and said he would stay in his reelection race. The dispute is drawing attention to the Ohio seat ahead of a deadline to replace Miller.
Moreno publicly criticized his former son-in-law, saying Miller failed basic standards of character and should not serve in the House. Miller denied allegations of abuse by his former wife and daughter, said he would not drop out of the race, and released investigative and court documents and audio and video clips related to the custody dispute.
Emily Moreno has alleged that Miller scalded, hit and threatened her; Miller denied those claims. The article says the former couple presented different accounts of how their young daughter suffered a broken collarbone, citing court filings and police reports. President Donald Trump said the allegations were accusations so far and that he would look into the matter. Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said people facing such accusations do not belong in positions of power.
