The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio following domestic abuse allegations made by his ex-wife. According to CBS News, the committee began the probe on Tuesday.
Rep. Miller has requested the investigation to "clear my name," stating he has "nothing to hide." His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and an ex-girlfriend have made several legal filings against him.
The Associated Press reports that House Democrats had called for an investigation and that former President Donald Trump, under whom Miller served as a senior White House aide, spoke with Miller on Monday. Trump reportedly told Miller his candidacy "doesn't look good." Wednesday was the deadline for Miller to withdraw from his reelection campaign if he chose to step down.
