Senator Bernie Moreno said Representative Max Miller should resign amid domestic abuse allegations involving Moreno’s daughter. Miller denied the allegations and said he would remain in the race.
Moreno said in a social media post that Miller was unfit to serve and should seek professional help. His comments followed allegations by his daughter, Emily Moreno, that Miller abused her during their marriage. A recent report also described a dispute over their young daughter’s collarbone injury; court filings and police reports reportedly contained differing accounts of how it happened.
Miller denied the allegations and said he would not drop out of the race. A spokesperson for Emily Moreno condemned his video, while the article also reported that earlier allegations concerning Miller’s daughter had been investigated and deemed unsubstantiated. Miller has sued Emily Moreno for defamation.
