Columbus, OH, August 4, 2026 —

The U.S. House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into Ohio Rep. Max Miller. The probe concerns allegations of domestic violence, abuse, and illegal drug use made against the congressman.

The investigation was initiated at Rep. Miller’s request. He stated that he has nothing to hide and wishes to clear his name from what he described as “horrific attacks.”

The allegations originate from accusations made by Emily Moreno, Rep. Miller’s ex-wife and the daughter of Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno. The Ethics Committee’s investigation is proceeding concurrently with ongoing divorce and custody proceedings involving Miller and Moreno.

The situation has also drawn public attention due to statements made by Sen. Bernie Moreno. The senator has publicly described his former son-in-law as a danger and in need of psychological help.

Details regarding the specific nature of the allegations, timelines, or any potential findings from the investigation have not been provided at this time. The U.S. House Ethics Committee has not released further information regarding the scope or expected duration of the inquiry.
