"I'm not getting out of this race, and I'm winning in November," Miller said at the end of an X livestream statement with pictures of his family in the background.
Miller said his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, has documented mental health circumstances that might have led to her allegations after their public divorce.
"They frame me as an abuser," Miller said, saying there is "no evidence" against him.
"No court or agency has even substantiated any allegation against me," he added. "Every single one of these allegations were already investigated."
Miller released troves of evidence via Dropbox that he says undermines the allegations against him.
"I have nothing to hide," he said.
Faced with a narrow path to winning control of the U.S. House, Democrats are seeing fresh opportunity in a northeast Ohio congressional seat where the Republican incumbent is facing mounting pressure over allegations that he abused his ex-wife and daughter in a bitter and drawn-out dispute with his former spouse.
Allegations against Miller, a White House adviser during President Donald Trump's first term, have been public for years but have recently drawn increased media scrutiny amid an escalating legal back-and-forth with his ex-wife. That has Democrats sensing Miller could be vulnerable in a district he won two years ago with just over 51% of the vote.
Over the past week, they have called for Miller to resign, requested a congressional ethics investigation and suggested more help could be directed in the fall toward his Democratic opponent, union ironworker Brian Poindexter. Miller has denied the abuse allegations and filed defamation lawsuits against his ex-wife and a second accuser.
