Emily Moreno filed for a restraining order on behalf of her attorney against Rep. Max Miller, alleging harassment and unwanted physical contact. Miller has denied wrongdoing, and the article reports that a judge dismissed his countersuit this week.
Emily Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno and Miller’s ex-wife, filed an application for a restraining order on behalf of her attorney, Andrew Zashin. She alleges Miller harassed and threatened her legal teams and touched Zashin without consent. The former couple already have restraining orders against each other, and Miller has denied the abuse allegations.
The article also recounts allegations of physical abuse during the couple’s custody dispute, including an alleged February 1 incident. Miller’s countersuit was dismissed this week; the article says he had sought to drop it in May. Neither side’s legal team nor Miller’s congressional office responded to the Daily Mail’s requests for comment.
