Sen. Katie Britt called for Rep. Max Miller to resign and end his reelection campaign amid abuse allegations and a House Ethics Committee investigation. Miller denies the allegations and says he will remain in the race.
Britt said she had reviewed statements from Miller and Sen. Bernie Moreno, and said she stood with Moreno in supporting his daughter and granddaughter. Moreno also called on Miller to leave Congress and said he believed Miller posed a danger to his daughter. Emily Moreno has accused Miller of physical abuse and threats during their marriage; Miller denied the allegations and said no court or government agency had substantiated an abuse claim against him.
The House Ethics Committee announced that it had opened an investigation into whether Miller may have engaged in domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use. Miller said he wanted an Ethics Committee review to clear his name, and said he would not drop out of the race.
