(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Democrat Brian Poindexter defeated Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, earlier this month as Miller had been facing allegations he abused his ex-wife and a former girlfriend.
Now it emerges that Poindexter is facing allegations—though seemingly tenuous—of his own. The Washington Post reported Friday that he’s already under investigation for alleged “sexual harassment” due to something he said to an aide.
“While full details of the allegation were not immediately made public, according to a Poindexter aide who was granted anonymity to discuss the investigation, the alleged harassment involved what Poindexter ‘thought was an innocuous compliment to a volunteer,’” the Post reported.

The Post added that two Democratic political action committees dropped their endorsement of Poindexter ahead of the election, though they didn’t say why at the time. Poindexter’s accuser requested that no details be disclosed publicly.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is investigating the matter.
“The DCCC has been made aware of the allegations and takes them seriously,” Julie Merz, the organization’s executive director, told the Post. “Upon completion of that investigation, which we have asked to be swift, thorough and transparent, the DCCC will have further comment.”
Meanwhile, the outgoing Rep. Miller is in a contentious divorce dispute with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. Miller’s even subpoenaed Sen. Moreno as part of the proceedings.
Poindexter defeated Miller by a margin of nearly 10 points.
