House Ethics probes Max Miller abuse allegations

The U.S. House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into Republican Rep. Alex Miller of United States — Ohio over allegations of domestic violence and abuse and illegal drug use. Miller requested the probe, saying he had nothing to hide, after his ex-wife Emily Moreno accused him of abuse. President Donald Trump, who had endorsed Miller, said the matter was for the families to resolve. United States — Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, Emily's father, called for Miller to leave Congress, describing his daughter's fear and the family's ordeal. The allegations threaten to put Miller's previously safe Republican seat in play for Democrats in the November midterms. Miller has denied the allegations and said he will remain in the race.
