The House Ethics Committee refused to answer Friday whether it would investigate Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller in connection to domestic abuse allegations.
The House Ethics Committee refused to answer Friday whether it would investigate Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller in connection to domestic abuse allegations.
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, accused the congressman of domestic abuse against her and their two-year-old daughter and filed for restraining orders. The House Ethics Committee declined to tell the Daily Caller News Foundation whether it would investigate these allegations.
“No comment,” the Ethics Committee told the DCNF.
Miller’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said in May that he does not “get involved in the personal lives of members.”
“I don’t get involved in the personal lives of members and those things. You know, he’s refuted some of these allegations, and he’s got to work that out,” Johnson told NBC News.
The speaker also said he did not involve himself with investigations during a July 21 press conference. Johnson’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
The Democratic Women’s Caucus called on the Ethics Committee to open an investigation into Miller.
Moreno accused Miller in May of throwing hot water on her from a pan of eggs he cooked in June 2024 and then continued spraying her with hot water from the sink hose. She alleged she fell into a fetal position on the floor at the time of the incident.
