House Ethics Committee Refuses To Say If GOP Congressman Will Be Investigated For Domestic Violence Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House Ethics Committee refused to say Friday whether it would investigate Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller in connection with domestic abuse allegations.

Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, accused the congressman of domestic abuse against her and their two-year-old daughter and filed for restraining orders. The House Ethics Committee declined to tell the Daily Caller News Foundation whether it would investigate these allegations.

“No comment,” the Ethics Committee told the DCNF.

Miller’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said in May that he does not “get involved in the personal lives of members.”

“I don’t get involved in the personal lives of members and those things. You know, he’s refuted some of these allegations, and he’s got to work that out,” Johnson told NBC News.

House Ethics Quietly Probed NC Dem Alma Adams, 79, for Alleged ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ with Female Staffer

A Democratic lawmaker was quietly investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly pursuing an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer — but the probe never substantiated the claims and was closed without releasing any public findings.

Rep. Alma Adams, a 79-year-old North Carolina pol who has served the state’s 12th District comprising Charlotte since 2014, was slapped with the ethics complaint in 2022 for getting “extremely close” to her aide Sandra Brown, NOTUS first reported.

Aides who spoke with ethics investigators were questioned about Brown’s visits to Adams at a one-bedroom apartment in DC — and her self-published novel that describes a quarrel between a woman and her lover’s husband, according to the outlet.

The book, “BossLady: The Legend of Sydney Donovan Begins,” was published under the pseudonym SaVette Brown, though the author’s Amazon page identifies her as “Sandra Austin Brown.”

Brown had claimed the fictional account “was loosely based on her life,” a source with direct knowledge of the remarks mentioned to NOTUS. (Read more from “House Ethics Quietly Probed NC Dem Alma Adams, 79, for Alleged ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ with Female Staffer” HERE)
