Summary

  • House Ethics Committee members are investigating Rep. Max Miller over domestic abuse and drug-use allegations as pressure mounts for the Ohio Republican to quit.
  • Bernie Moreno, Miller’s ex-father-in-law and a GOP senator, said Sunday that Miller “should not serve” in the House, intensifying calls from within Miller’s own party.
  • Donald Trump also warned Miller that “things aren’t looking good” for his re-election bid against Democrat Brian Poindexter, with party leaders nearing a deadline to pick a possible replacement.
  • Miller has denied wrongdoing, sought an ethics probe to clear his name, and blamed his ex-wife’s accusations on her mental-health struggles and a political attack by the Moreno family.
