Several Democratic lawmakers and the Democratic Women’s Caucus call for the House Ethics Committee to investigate Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) following allegations of domestic abuse involving his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. The requests cite recent reporting that describes claims Moreno made regarding Miller, including allegations of assault and possible injury to their child. Democrats say the allegations are deeply concerning and that Congress should not ignore them.
The call for an ethics inquiry comes as Miller faces scrutiny ahead of his reelection in a competitive House seat. Democratic members frame the matter as a question of compliance with standards expected of members of Congress, while the ethics investigation would determine whether there is a basis for further action under House rules. The outlets reporting the requests do not describe any findings by the Ethics Committee, and the allegations are presented as claims raised by Moreno and reported by media. The Ethics Committee’s response, timing, and scope have not been detailed in the accounts summarized here.
