House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain has publicly stated her support for Ohio Representative Max Miller, despite ongoing allegations of abuse against him. McClain made the comments on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," saying she supports any Republican candidate and expressed hope that the allegations against Miller are not true. However, she emphasized that Miller remains the current nominee for re-election. Miller is running for a third term in the House, but several high-profile Republicans have called on him to step down amid the controversy. The allegations against Miller were brought forward by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno (R). She claims Miller verbally and physically abused her and their two-year-old daughter, including allegations that he threw boiling water at her, pointed a gun at her, and caused a clavicle fracture and bruise on their daughter. Miller has denied the allegations and stated that he has cooperated fully with past investigations, saying in a livestream that "every single one of these allegations were already investigated, and I cooperated fully every single time because I had nothing to hide." Moreno, the ex-wife, recently asked a court to issue a restraining order to prevent Miller from contacting her lawyers. She described her daughter as living in constant fear of Miller and said that Miller must pick up his granddaughter at a police station for custody exchanges because he does not know "what this guy's capable of." During one custody exchange, Moreno claimed Miller "literally held it hostage" from his daughter, a blue stuffed bunny. In addition to the allegations from Moreno, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham has also accused Miller of abuse, which he has denied. In an effort to counter the allegations, Miller released a Dropbox folder containing documents to defend himself. However, the folder included naked photos of his daughter, further escalating tensions in the divorce and custody battle. Despite the allegations, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has praised Miller as a "great member of Congress" since his election in 2023. Johnson acknowledged that Miller has personal issues to work through and noted that the House Ethics Committee is investigating the allegations and their potential implications. Miller has not withdrawn from the race, despite calls from prominent Republicans like Senators Katie Britt, Jim Banks, and John Husted for him to step down. McClain has emphasized the need to "keep the House" in Republican hands and praised Miller as a "good advocate for his constituents," stating that "at the end of the day, we've got to let the process play out."
