  "summary": "Senate Majority Leader John Thune has commented on the controversy surrounding Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, saying it's a matter for the House and Ohio voters to decide, as well as a family issue. According to Thune, the case is \"very sad and unfortunate\".\n\nThe House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Miller after he was accused of abuse by his ex-wife. Miller has requested a House investigation to \"clear my name\", stating he has \"nothing to hide\". His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and an ex-girlfriend have made legal filings against him.\n\nMiller, a senior White House aide during Donald Trump's first presidency, is facing mounting scrutiny over the allegations. Trump reportedly spoke with Miller, advising that his candidacy \"doesn't look good\". Wednesday is the deadline for Miller to withdraw from his reelection campaign.",
