    Sen. Bernie Moreno Says Former Son-in-Law Max Miller Should Not Continue Serving in Congress

    U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno has stated that his former son-in-law, Representative Max Miller, should no longer serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, adding a new chapter to an increasingly public family and political dispute.

    Speaking to reporters, Moreno argued that Miller’s continued tenure in Congress is no longer appropriate, though he did not outline any formal steps to remove the congressman from office. His remarks have drawn national attention due to the family connection between the two Republican politicians.

    The comments come amid heightened scrutiny surrounding Miller, with political observers closely following developments involving the Ohio congressman. While Moreno stopped short of providing detailed allegations during his remarks, he maintained that public officials must be held to the highest standards of accountability and integrity.

    Representative Max Miller has not indicated any intention to step down and has continued carrying out his congressional duties. His office has not issued a detailed response to Moreno’s latest comments.

    The dispute has sparked debate within political circles, with some Republican leaders urging restraint while others have called for any concerns to be addressed through the appropriate legal and ethical processes rather than public exchanges.

    Analysts note that personal conflicts involving elected officials can quickly become political issues, particularly when they involve prominent members of the same party. They also emphasize that any decision regarding a member’s service in Congress ultimately depends on legal procedures, electoral outcomes, or actions taken by the House itself.

    As the situation unfolds, both lawmakers are expected to remain under close public and media scrutiny, with further statements likely in the coming days.

  • (VIDEO) My Salary as Speaker Was N400,000— Dogara

    A former speaker of the Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, said his total allowance in office was N25 million and salary N400,000 monthly.

    Dogara said the clarification was necessary following public misconception that members of the National Assembly earned huge salaries and allowances.

    Yakubu Dogara was the Speaker of the 8th Assembly. He was speaking during a Goodwill message at the two days ‘House Open Week 2024’ organised by the House of Representatives as part of the celebration of 25 years of unbroken democracy in the country,

    He said further that the misconception of huge salaries and allowances by Nigerians had given the National Assembly a negative image, to the extent that lawmakers were called thieves at public fora.

    Dogara said it was important Nigerians allowed their representatives to work and limit the financial demands on them .
    The former speaker said he suffered the same fate as a member of the House of Representatives and as speaker because of the belief by Nigerians that lawmakers collect millions as salaries and allowances monthly at the expense of Nigerian workers.

    Dogara noted that, his salary was N400,000 while he had the sum of N25 million monthly as the Speaker of the 8th Assembly.
