Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller filed a sworn statement denying he used Meta smart glasses to secretly record his ex-wife's attorneys during a July custody hearing, the latest flashpoint in a legal battle marked by abuse accusations, admitted false statements, and a pattern of covert recordings.

A woman has accused California Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez of sexual assault and harassment through the House Ethics Committee, directly contradicting his claim that his conduct was consensual, as Congress confronts a mounting wave of misconduct scandals in both parties. Attorneys Lisa J. Banks and Sarah E. Nesbitt, representing the unnamed woman, issued a statement days after the Ethics Committee announced its investigation on Aug. 17. Their client, they said, had been interviewed by the panel and gave an account that flatly rejected Gomez's version of events.
