Trump declines to call for Rep. Max Miller's resignation amid domestic abuse allegations, calling it 'a very sad thing'

President Donald Trump declined to call for the resignation of Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) following allegations of domestic abuse from Miller's ex-wife, Emily Moreno. When asked about the matter in the Oval Office, Trump stated, 'I know Max. He's a good person,' and said he would 'let the families figure that out.' The allegations include accusations that Miller threw Moreno against a wall, held a gun to her head, and threw hot water on her. Trump characterized the situation as 'a very sad thing' but emphasized it comes down to 'accusations.' Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, the accuser's father and a Trump ally, had publicly called for Miller's resignation the day prior, stating Miller 'should not serve in the House of Representatives.' Miller denies all allegations and has filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife.
