Chris Hayes Presses GOP on Max Miller Abuse Allegations in 2,000 Pages of Court Records

Summary
2,000 pages of court filings, police reports and child-welfare records reviewed by Mother Jones fueled Chris Hayes' challenge to Republicans over their muted response to allegations against Rep. Max Miller.
The records include claims from ex-wife Emily Moreno that Miller was physically abusive, misogynistic toward other women and used illegal drugs; Miller denies violence, and he has not been charged with a crime.
A child-welfare investigation also examined the couple's 2-year-old daughter's broken collarbone and bruising, which investigators called suspicious, but it found no evidence of abuse or neglect and did not conclude Miller caused the injury.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the House has a process for such allegations through the Ethics Committee, while reporters on Hayes' program said GOP leadership has offered no real response and no active committee investigation is underway.
The dispute lands as Miller seeks re-election, sharpening scrutiny of how Republicans handle allegations against one of their own during the midterm campaign.
