Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in the House as Miller defended himself in a live video against domestic-abuse allegations. Miller denied the allegations and said he would remain in his reelection race.
Moreno publicly criticized his former son-in-law, saying Miller failed basic standards of character for elected office and should not serve in the House. The remarks came as Miller defended himself in a live video on X against allegations from his former wife, Emily Moreno; he denied abusing her and their daughter. The allegations had been public for years but recently drew increased scrutiny amid their custody dispute.
Miller said he would stay in the reelection race and released investigative and court documents, along with audio and video clips, related to the custody dispute. President Donald Trump said the allegations were still accusations and that he would look into the matter. A spokesperson for Emily Moreno criticized Miller's video, while Democratic opponent Brian Poindexter said people facing such accusations did not belong in the halls of power. Democrats have also called for Miller to resign and requested a congressional ethics investigation.
