Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House as Miller defended himself against 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 for replacing a candidate.
Moreno said Miller failed basic standards of character and should seek professional help. Miller denied allegations that he abused his former wife and daughter, said he would not drop out of his race, and released investigative and court documents and recordings related to the custody dispute. Emily Moreno has said Miller scalded, hit and threatened her; the article notes that the allegations have been public for years.
A spokesperson for Emily Moreno criticized Miller’s video, while Miller’s Democratic opponent, Brian Poindexter, said someone facing such accusations did not belong in the halls of power. President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Miller, said the matter involved accusations and that he would look at it. The article also reports calls for Miller to resign and for a congressional ethics investigation, and says Republican names were being floated as possible replacements.
