According to reports, three people familiar with the matter revealed that US President Trump telephoned Congressman Max Miller on Monday. There were recent reports accusing Miller of assaulting his ex-wife and their children. During the call, Trump expressed doubts about the Ohio Republican candidate's campaign prospects. According to three sources, during the call, Trump said “the situation is not optimistic” to Miller and mentioned many times that Miller's path to re-election will be very difficult. One of the sources said that Miller denied harming his wife and children and indicated to Trump that he would continue to run for election. Miller said that his own polls showed that his election was stable. This private conversation on Monday night was very different from the tone Trump had when he spoke publicly about Miller. Trump did not publicly criticize Miller, nor did he call for him to leave the election.
