House Speaker Mike Johnson says he supports Rep. Max Miller’s reelection bid as Miller faces domestic violence allegations. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Johnson tells CNN that Miller is “a great member of Congress,” while also acknowledging that Miller is dealing with “issues in his personal life.” Johnson’s remarks come as the allegations continue to be handled through official processes.
The dispute centers on accusations that Miller physically abused his ex-wife and daughter. The House Ethics Committee announces that it is investigating the claims, which have been made public earlier this month. According to reporting, Miller denies the allegations. Outlets emphasize different details: some focus on Johnson’s praise and callout of Miller’s personal situation, while others highlight the Ethics Committee’s role and Miller’s denial.
