As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. Max Miller is calling for an investigation into abuse allegations, while denying wrongdoing and accusing others of trying to take down his career. The Ethics Committee will investigate, and the allegations have sparked a public feud involving Sen. Bernie Moreno. Miller’s re-election is potentially in question, with Democrats seeing an opportunity in the Cleveland suburbs. The situation has been described as a “trainwreck” by a House GOP source.
Miller’s decision to call for an investigation into himself has become a familiar move in the political playbook, where politicians seek to clear their name and shift the narrative. In this case, it may be a calculated risk to regain control of the story and appease his constituents.
