Max Miller seeks ethics investigation amid domestic violence allegations
House Ethics Committee probe into Max Miller domestic violence claims See how the allegations could affect his reelection race in Ohio
Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate him after his exwife accused him of domestic violence. Miller said he wants the committee to review the claims and clear his name.
Emily Moreno, the daughter of Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, has accused Miller of scalding her with hot water, holding a gun to her head and breaking their daughter’s collarbone. Miller has denied the allegations and says he will provide documents to support his defense.
The House Ethics Committee said it will examine whether Miller may have violated conduct rules related to domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use. The allegations come as Miller faces reelection in a closely watched Ohio district, where the scandal could affect the race ahead of Election Day.
