Rep. Max Miller’s reelection campaign got a boost from the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, calling the Ohio Republican a “great member of Congress” despite allegations of domestic violence under review by the House Ethics Committee.

Johnson made the comments to CNN’s Manu Raju when asked directly whether he backed Miller’s bid for a third term. “Yes,” the Louisiana Republican replied. “He has been a great member of Congress. He has some issues in his personal life he’s working through. The House Ethics Committee is looking into that and its implications. And, as usual, you know, you’ve heard me say it a thousand times, we have to let due process play out.”

Miller has been under fire, facing domestic abuse allegations and lawsuits from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, alleging he uploaded a nude photo of their young daughter online, saying that he "recklessly published and disclosed to the world a nude image."

The lawsuit accuses Miller of being “reckless,” adding that in the technological age, parents should be completely mindful of images that should go online, considering the access predators have.

On Aug. 2, Miller took to social media, where he released a nearly 20-minute video titled “special announcement” responding to the domestic abuse claims, maintaining his innocence and vowing to remain on the Ohio race ballot despite calls for him to step down.

Miller and Moreno have been in a lengthy custody battle amid their divorce fallout, as Moreno alleges Miller had a history of domestic abuse while the two were together.

In an effort to prove his innocence, the former advisor to President Donald Trump filed his own ethics investigation, saying, “In light of all the renewed interest in my family affairs, I am going to file my own paperwork for an ethics investigation into myself to clear my name from these horrific attacks on myself and my family. I have absolutely nothing to hide."

President Donald Trump weighed in on the situation, praising Miller as “a good person” while being interviewed by reporters in the Oval Office. “I always thought he was a very good person, and I’m going to let the families figure that out.”

Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, who is Miller’s former father-in-law, called for the GOP representative's resignation, saying Miller “needs serious psychological help.”

As the November elections draw near, Miller's campaign for Ohio's 7th Congressional District is experiencing a loss of traction due to the ongoing domestic abuse allegations.

In a co/efficient polling memo conducted in early August, Democrat Brian Poindexter, a Brook Park City Council member, now leads Miller by 14 points, compared to a survey that showed the margin between the candidates at 5 points.

According to the polling memo, awareness of Miller's domestic violence allegations is up to 86%.

It remains to be seen if the allegations against Miller will ultimately undo him in the November election, as the reliably red seat that Trump won by 11 percentage points in the last political cycle could be upended by Poindexter.
