Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan face scrutiny for accepting campaign donations from Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), who faces allegations of domestic abuse. The three Pennsylvania congressmen, all in competitive races, have not announced plans to return the $2,500 contributions from Miller's Dependable Conservative Leadership PAC.

Miller, a two-term Republican, denies allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, that he committed physical violence during their marriage and divorce. Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), told police her daughter sustained injuries while in Miller's care.

Miller's PAC distributed $112,000 to other committees. Mackenzie and Bresnahan received their $2,500 contributions on March 23; Fitzpatrick's campaign received its donation on March 24. The disbursements came days before the allegations against Miller became public on March 27.

Democrats quickly criticized the three Pennsylvania Republicans. Benny Stanislawski, communications director for Democratic candidate Bob Brooks in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, said Mackenzie shows "his true colors" by keeping the money.

The $2,500 contributions represent a small fraction of each recipient's total fundraising. Fitzpatrick's campaign raised more than $1.17 million in the first quarter, while Bresnahan brought in $1.2 million and Mackenzie $907,000.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said an Ethics Committee investigation into Miller is underway, adding pressure on Miller, who has been a staunch supporter of President Trump.

Miller worked on Trump's 2016 campaign and held positions in the Treasury Department and the White House, including special assistant to the president. He helped organize the 2020 Republican National Convention and served as a Trump negotiator for presidential debates. Miller has said the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was "not an insurrection."

Despite mounting pressure, Miller refused to drop his reelection bid ahead of a recent filing deadline, saying over the weekend he would remain in the race.

The Republican National Committee has not committed to spending money on Miller's reelection campaign. Corporate and trade group PACs that previously backed Miller have not said whether they will continue their support.
