Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump declined Monday to say Rep. Max Miller should resign or drop his Ohio reelection bid before an Aug. 5 withdrawal deadline, saying he knows Miller as “a good person” and will “let the families figure out” what happens. Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, has accused him of abusing her and their 2-year-old daughter; Miller denies the allegations. Bernie Moreno has called for Miller to resign, and Sen. Rick Scott said Miller “shouldn’t be in office.”
