Trump raises concerns over campaign in call with Rep. Max Miller amid abuse allegations
President Trump called Rep. Max Miller on Monday and raised concerns about the Ohio Republican's reelection campaign following allegations Miller assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their 2-year-old daughter, two sources directly familiar with the call confirmed to CBS News.
Miller, who has adamantly denied the allegations, told the president he has no plans to leave the race, according to one of the sources. Miller pointed to his campaign's internal polling, telling Mr. Trump it showed his campaign in a strong position for reelection.
'If I dropped out of this race, it would mean we as a nation have fallen so far from our American values.'
'I will not validate false claims by removing myself just to please the court of public opinion.'
'I am innocent of all of the allegations that have been attributed to me.'
'These are incredibly serious criminal accusations, and if these accusations were true, I would be in jail.'
'Without question, every allegation should be taken seriously.'
Sen. Bernie Moreno: 'If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them.'
'He should not serve in the House of Representatives.'
'Max Miller's increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.'
'I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake.'
Stefan Mychajliw, Emily Moreno spokesman: 'Miller can lie and spin on X, but he cannot do so under oath in a court of law.'
