Ohio Rep. Max Miller Faces Ethics Probe Over Domestic Abuse Allegations

Republican U.S. Representative Max Miller, who represents Ohio’s 7th Congressional District and is seeking reelection, is under a House Ethics Committee investigation after his ex‑wife Emily Moreno – the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno – accused him of domestic violence, including throwing hot water, pointing a gun at her and fracturing their two‑year‑old daughter’s collarbone. Miller has denied the allegations.

Miller asked the Ethics Committee to open a probe into himself; the panel announced it is reviewing whether he may have engaged in domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use. He faces a deadline of 4 p.m. on Wednesday to withdraw from the November ballot, after which Ohio Republicans must name a replacement by Aug 10.

President Donald Trump and senior White House officials have privately urged Miller to drop out, while Sen. Bernie Moreno and several GOP senators have publicly called for his resignation, describing him as a danger to his daughter and granddaughter. Miller says he will stay in the race and will provide the committee with all requested documents.
