Democratic Lawmakers Call for Investigation into Abuse Allegations Against GOP Rep. Max Miller
Democratic Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández, Emilia Sykes, and Hillary Scholten have issued a joint statement expressing concern over domestic violence and child abuse allegations against Republican Representative Max Miller. The allegations, which have been public for some time, have gained renewed attention due to ongoing legal disputes between Miller and his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. The Democrats are urging for a thorough investigation into these claims, emphasizing the seriousness of violence against women and children. Miller, who served as a White House adviser during President Trump's first term, has denied the allegations and filed defamation lawsuits against his ex-wife and another accuser. The situation has created a potential opportunity for Democrats to challenge Miller's seat in the upcoming elections, with union ironworker Brian Poindexter as the Democratic candidate.
