During a probe into possible child abuse, the ex-wife of Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) accused him of throwing hot water at her and holding a gun to her head. He’s denied the claims, but court records show it is not the first time Miller has faced allegations of getting physical with a woman.

Trump on alleged Chinese interference in 2019: "They focused on undermining confidence in the US president. They wanted to just want you sound like your president wasn't so hot, when actually your president has done a great job."
