President Trump phoned Rep. Max Miller Monday and expressed doubts about the Ohio Republican's candidacy amid reports he assaulted his ex-wife and their child, three sources familiar with the call said.
Why it matters : The Monday night private conversation was different in tone than Trump's public comments about Miller. The president has refrained from criticizing Miller or from calling on him to drop out of his race.
Earlier Monday, Trump did not back away from Miller, calling the situation "a very sad thing."
