The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into domestic abuse and drug-use allegations against Rep. Max Miller, who says he will stay in his reelection race. The probe comes amid criticism from Sen. Bernie Moreno and pressure from President Donald Trump.
The House Ethics Committee said it was investigating whether Miller may have engaged in domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use. Miller said he had requested an investigation of his own and said he would remain in the race; committee leaders did not say which request prompted the probe.
Trump privately cautioned Miller that the race looked difficult, while Moreno publicly condemned Miller and said he should no longer hold public office. Moreno said he had previously stayed quiet at his daughter’s request. Ohio’s election calendar sets Aug. 10 as the deadline for party nominating committees to certify a replacement if a candidate withdraws or is disqualified.
