The report gives specific election and campaign details and attributes statements to Miller, Poindexter, Trump and a party official. It includes competing political perspectives, but does not provide the underlying evidence for the abuse allegations or a response from Miller to requests for comment.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The report includes Miller’s stated confidence, supportive comments from Trump and a Republican official, and criticism from Poindexter and Ohio senators. It provides little detail about the basis of the allegations or the perspective of Miller’s ex-wife.
- Source diversity — Several political voices are quoted or summarized, but the people making the allegations are not heard directly in the article.
