Johnson urges patience as Miller scandal heads to Ethics probe

House Speaker Mike Johnson urged patience on Rep. Max Miller’s domestic abuse allegations, saying the case must run its course through the House Ethics Committee before any action is taken, while Miller denies the charges and faces support from allies including Trump. The Ethics Committee is reviewing Miller for domestic abuse and drug-use claims, a probe that complicates Miller’s Ohio reelection bid and tests GOP unity ahead of the midterms. Johnson says he will speak with Miller but will not intervene, and fellow Republicans—including Chuck Edwards and Bernie Moreno—are navigating the broader ethics controversies engulfing the party.
