Episode Details

Republican Congressman Max Miller is refusing to step down despite mounting pressure from his own party and a newly opened ethics investigation into domestic abuse allegations by his ex-wife. Standing firm even as GOP strategists believe his reelection chances are all but lost, Miller continues defending himself through public appearances and online posts — including documents from his divorce and custody battles. His ex-wife, Emily Moreno — daughter of Senator Bernie Moreno — has accused him of serious abuse, with Senator Moreno calling Miller’s character unfit for office. Democrats are seizing the moment, branding Miller as morally bankrupt and eyeing a seat flip in the competitive Cleveland district. The House Ethics Committee has formally launched an inquiry into possible domestic violence or drug use, following Miller’s own request — just days after censuring another lawmaker. With a Monday deadline to replace him on the ballot if he withdraws, Miller must act quickly, though he’d need to formally resign by Saturday to give GOP leaders enough time to find a replacement.
