Ohio Republican Representative Max Miller announced on Tuesday that he is requesting a House investigation into domestic abuse allegations made against him.[1] Miller, who served as an advisor during Donald Trump's first term, stated that he wants to "clear my name" and emphasized "I have nothing to hide."[1]
The allegations come from Miller's ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno.[1] Miller is currently facing multiple legal suits from his former wife and an ex-girlfriend.[1] Despite the mounting pressure, Miller released a video over the weekend declaring, "I'm not dropping out of this race and I'll win in November."[1] Wednesday marks the deadline for Miller to decide whether to withdraw from his reelection campaign.[1]
The situation has drawn intervention from Trump, who told Miller on Monday that his campaign "doesn't look good."[1] However, when speaking at the White House that same day, Trump also stated, "I know Max. He's a good person."[1] Senator Moreno expressed concern on Sunday, saying Miller has failed to demonstrate "basic standards of character."[1]
