Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, faces escalating domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife Emily Moreno, including claims he poured hot water on her and pushed her against a wall. Miller denied the allegations in a livestream on X, calling the water incident 'horseplay' and stating no court or agency has substantiated any abuse claims. President Donald Trump said he would 'let the families figure that out' while calling Miller 'a good person.' Most House Republicans have stayed on the sidelines, though Rep. Kat Cammack, chair of the GOP Women's Caucus, said the allegations are 'very serious' and if true, Miller should resign. The Democratic Women's Caucus called for a House Ethics Committee investigation. The Ethics Committee has faced recent criticism over the speed of its probes.
