It's Wednesday, August 5th. Republicans thought they had a safe house seat in Ohio, but some are thinking again. We start here. Calls grow for Ohio Representative Max Miller to give up his reelection bid. House Democrats definitely see an opening here. We'll tell you what he's saying and what it means for November. Normally in a cyber attack, hackers want something from you, but not this time. This is somebody who wants you to know something. The latest on the breaches at several states' water systems. Fewer people are putting it all on red, and that's putting one city in the red. The people who keep the city running tell me that they're barely holding on. Why tourism is on the decline in Las Vegas. From ABC News, this is Start Here.
I'm Mike Dabusky. Morning. Brad's still out on vacation, so you've got me today. Today marks 90 days until the midterm elections, and as you'd expect with just weeks left in these high-stakes races, things are getting interesting. Republicans are dealing with a growing scandal around a seat they'd largely considered to be safe in November. Max Miller, a sitting Ohio representative up for re-election, has been facing calls to drop out after being accused of abusing his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their two-year-old child, something he strenuously denies. Then, earlier this week, Miller was hit with a restraining order from Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary and Miller's one-time girlfriend.
We're going to bring in ABC's Lely Ipsa to break this all down for us and tell us what it means for the midterms. Lely, can you just walk me through what these allegations are from Moreno and now Grisham? The controversy surrounding Rep.
What are the latest allegations against Ohio Rep. Max Miller and when did they surface?
Max Miller has really unfolded over the past several years. There were these earlier abuse accusations from former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, who dated Miller while they were both working in the White House during President Trump's first term. In 2021, Grisham had released her memoir where she had described an abusive relationship with someone who was later revealed to be Rep. Miller. And now there are these more recent accusations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who, of course, as you mentioned, is Senator Bernie Moreno's daughter. And Moreno and Miller have been involved in a contentious divorce-turned-custody battle for several years now. And police reports show that Moreno had told police officers these allegations that Miller had
thrown her up against a wall, had poured hot water on her and even held a gun to her head. It's important to note that all of these allegations Miller has denied and no charges have ever been brought against him. And actually, I want to follow up on that. So what is Max Miller saying about these reports? Because we've heard from him several times in the last few days. Well, that's exactly right. Miller is claiming no wrongdoing. On Tuesday, Miller was asked extensively about this pattern of abuse that various women have alleged against him, and he denied it all.
I categorically deny abusing my former wife. Family court disputes are often emotional, painful, and deeply personal. And unfortunately, anyone who has lived through a contested custody case knows it is not uncommon for exaggerated, even entirely baseless allegations of abuse to surface in exactly this setting as leverage.
He claimed that he had been cleared of all charges against him in the court of law and with police. And he argued that if they were true, then police would be investigating those claims further.
My former wife is engaging in a pattern of reporting incredible, serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence.
