Washington — Some White House officials hope embattled GOP Rep.
Max Miller exits the congressional race in Ohio immediately, and President Trump has expressed a similar sentiment behind closed doors, multiple U.S. officials familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Trump called Miller on Monday and raised concerns about his reelection bid following allegations that Miller assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their 2-year-old daughter, two sources directly familiar with the call confirmed to CBS News.
But Miller, who has adamantly denied the allegations, told the president he has no plans to leave the race, according to one of the sources.
