Max Miller requests House Ethics Committee investigation to clear his name from domestic abuse allegations
Representative Max Miller of Ohio has requested that the House Ethics Committee conduct a formal investigation into allegations of domestic violence and illegal drug use. The move follows a public dispute with his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who accused him of domestic abuse and holding a gun to her head. While Miller denies the claims, his former father-in-law, Senator Bernie Moreno, has publicly stated that Miller is unfit to serve in Congress and described the family's experience as "the seventh level of hell." To mitigate the situation, Miller's legal team apologized for a sensitive, unredacted image of his toddler daughter being shared publicly. Despite the pressure from Senator Bernie Moreno and other Republican colleagues, Miller intends to remain in the reelection race. President Trump has expressed support for Miller, calling him a good person while allowing the families to resolve their private dispute. The investigation will likely take several months to complete, providing a clear path for Miller to defend his record before the November midterms.
