Summary

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

Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, is staying in his reelection race despite pressure to withdraw as domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, threaten a GOP-held House seat. Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, has accused Miller in custody filings of abusing her and their 2-year-old daughter; Miller denies the allegations. Police records include an investigatory file on possible child abuse after the child suffered a broken collarbone. Speaker Johnson said the allegations are not his 'business,' while Bernie Moreno said he would 'give up' his life for his granddaughter.

Johnson's ResponsibilityLeans Left

Mike Johnson is avoiding his responsibilities as House Republican leader by staying out of the Max Miller abuse scandal. He should have to say whether he still supports Miller and take action on serious misconduct allegations inside his caucus.

Failed Damage ControlLeans Right

Max Miller’s efforts to defend himself are backfiring badly. His CNN appearance was evasive and damaging, and his dubious attacks involving Bernie Moreno look like an attempt to rescue his own reputation.
