00:00The political and personal drama surrounding Ohio Congressman Max Miller has taken another turn.
00:04The Republican lawmaker has now released hours of secretly recorded audio conversations with
00:09his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, in an attempt to push back against her abuse allegations.
00:14But some of the recordings appear to support parts of her account.
00:18Here's a portion of one exchange about an incident where Emily says
00:21Miller poured hot water on her.
00:23You poured steaming hot water on me.
00:25And you've also saved me emotionally abusive.
00:30And I have photos of me that my mom took at my house with me with scars on my neck.
00:35And you've actually seen those photos.
00:37What are you talking about?
00:39That wasn't from me.
00:40And you know that wasn't from me.
00:41The water incident, which I have the text messages from that we have, even following up after that,
00:47I never thought that that hurt you.
00:49And you know that.
00:50I literally went into my closet and went into the laundry and turned crying.
00:54Miller goes on to repeat that he never thought it had hurt her.
00:58And it, quote, wasn't done with intent.
01:00The audio recordings also include Moreno's accusations about Miller using drugs,
01:04as well as the circumstances surrounding the custody of their two-year-old daughter,
01:08who Moreno has said suffered a broken collarbone, potentially at the hands of Miller.
01:12The embattled congressman continues to deny the broader allegations that he physically abused
01:16his ex-wife or their daughter.
01:18But the release of the recordings comes as pressure continues to build.
01:22Miller remains in the race for re-election in the upcoming midterms.
01:26And the timing here is pivotal.
01:27The deadline to withdraw his name from the ballot is this week.
01:31Is the 13th time the charm?
01:34President Trump has issued a fresh deadline for Iran to make a deal or face a massive attack.
01:39If you feel like you've heard me say that before, that's because I have.
01:43It's the 13th time the president has done so since the start of the war.
01:46Speaking from the Oval Office on Monday,
01:48the president said he called off a massive attack over the weekend after Iran,
01:52with the encouragement of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar,
01:56asked for more time to reach a deal.
01:58I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,
02:01but hopefully they'll come to their senses.
02:03So they called me and they said,
02:06please don't attack, we'll make a deal.
02:30The president has repeatedly threatened to military action only to extend deadlines or pause strikes
02:36as diplomacy continues.
02:38But at least the two sides are negotiating, right?
02:41Well, not as far as top leaders in Tehran are concerned.
02:45Iran continues to deny it's doing anything in regards to negotiating directly with the United States,
02:50insisting any current talks are being handled through Oman
02:53and are limited to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
02:56More than 30 years after Kurt Cobain's death,
02:58a newly discovered letter is raising fresh questions about what happened after the investigation closed.
03:03So this letter, dated October 1995,
03:06shows that Courtney Love's attorney asked the Seattle Police Department
03:10to hand over the entire investigative file into Cobain's death
03:13and requested that no copies, not a single one, remain with the police department.
03:18The request came about a year and a half after the Nirvana frontman
03:21was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a Seattle home.
03:25In the letter, Love's attorney said the family fully accepted the police conclusion
03:29that Cobain died by suicide and explained the files were being requested
03:33because others were allegedly trying to profit from material related to the case.
03:37Now, Seattle police refused the request.
03:39This newly released letter, though, surfaced through a group that has long argued
03:43that Cobain's death should be reinvestigated as a possible homicide,
03:47though police have repeatedly stood by their finding that the rock icon took his own life.
