GOP Rep Gets His Wish: House Opens Investigation Into His Personal Life

The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation Tuesday into Republican Ohio Rep.

Miller took steps Tuesday for the Ethics Committee to investigate his ex-wife’s domestic violence allegations against him, claiming he had “absolutely nothing to hide.” The committee announced it is “reviewing” the allegations against the embattled congressman.

“The Committee, pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a), is reviewing allegations that Representative Max Miller may have engaged in domestic violence and abuse or illegal drug use in violation of the Code of Official Conduct or any other applicable standard of conduct,” the committee said.

“The Committee notes that the mere fact that it is investigating these allegations, and publicly disclosing its review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred,” the statement continued. “No other public comment will be made on this matter except in accordance with Committee rules.” (RELATED: Time Running Out For GOP As Congressman Faces Abuse Allegations)
