Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller should not serve in Congress amid abuse allegations made by Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Miller denied the allegations and said they were false, while the two men exchanged accusations about the dispute.
Bernie Moreno said Miller fails basic standards of character and should not serve in the House, describing the past two years as “pure hell” for his family. The article reports that Emily Moreno has made abuse allegations in court filings and police reports, including claims involving herself and their child. Miller denies the allegations and said they were untrue; he also questioned their timing and pointed to a county investigators’ letter closing a probe into one allegation as “unsubstantiated.”
The article says Emily Moreno sought a restraining order last week related to alleged altercations between Miller and her lawyer during a custody dispute. Miller accused his former wife of defaming him and abusing their child. A spokesman for Emily Moreno called Miller’s livestream “shameful” and “lie-filled,” while Miller accused Sen. Moreno of speaking out for political reasons.
