Senator Rick Scott urges removal of Rep. Max Miller over abuse claims

Sen. Rick Scott publicly attacked Rep. Max Miller, stating that anyone with abuse allegations, including Miller and Rep. Cory Mills, should not hold elected office. Scott’s remarks came after additional court filings in the Miller-Moreno custody battle detailed accusations of physical violence, such as scalding with hot water, brandishing a firearm, and injuring their daughter’s collarbone. Miller has refuted the allegations, blaming his ex-wife’s mental-health struggles and releasing documents he claims clear his name, though observers noted the materials painted a negative picture.

Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno also demanded Miller’s resignation, calling for psychological help and labeling him a danger to his granddaughter. President Donald Trump, who attended the couple’s wedding, expressed sympathy but deferred to the families to work out the issues. The controversy highlights partisan tensions over how Congress addresses misconduct claims.
