Ohio Republican Representative Max Miller addressed and denied allegations made by his ex-wife accusing him of abuse toward her and their daughter during a live session on X on Sunday morning, August 2, 2026. Miller stated, "They frame me as an abuser," and emphasized there is "no evidence" against him. He added, "No court or agency has even substantiated any allegation against me," and noted that "every single one of these allegations were already investigated."

Miller also announced plans to release communications in a public Dropbox folder that he claims will support his innocence.

The allegations, which have been public for years, have recently attracted increased media scrutiny amid an escalating legal dispute with his ex-wife, who is the daughter of a senator. Miller, who served as a White House adviser during President Donald Trump's first term, currently represents a northeast Ohio congressional district he won two years ago with just over 51% of the vote.

Democrats see an opportunity in the district, calling for Miller's resignation, requesting a congressional ethics investigation, and suggesting increased support in the fall for his Democratic opponent, union ironworker Brian Poindexter.
