  "account": "The House Ethics Committee has announced it will investigate allegations that Ohio Republican Representative Max Miller may have been involved in domestic violence or drug use. Miller has faced mounting calls for his resignation after legal documents emerged alleging he abused his ex-wife and their child. Sen. Bernie Moreno, the father of Miller's ex-wife, stated Miller should not serve in Congress, prompting a wave of support for this position from other lawmakers. President Trump and some White House officials are reportedly privately hoping Miller steps aside. Miller has strongly denied the allegations, saying he has nothing to hide and will provide the committee with all necessary documents for an investigation. The committee stated the initiation of the probe does not imply the allegations are true.",
  "summary": "The House Ethics Committee announced that it is opening a probe into allegations that Rep. Max Miller may have engaged in domestic violence or drug use.",
