Republican senator says former son-in-law should resign from US Congress

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno has publicly called for Representative Max Miller, his former son-in-law, to resign from Congress due to allegations of domestic and child abuse. Moreno stated that Miller fails to meet basic standards for elected office and needs professional help. This statement comes after Miller's ex-wife, Emily Moreno, accused him of pouring hot water on her, holding a gun to her head, and breaking their daughter's collarbone. Miller has denied these allegations, asserting that no court or agency has substantiated them and that he will remain in his re-election race. The accusations have intensified scrutiny of the Ohio congressional race.

Ohio Rep.-elect Max Miller has stated he will not withdraw from his re-election race, despite facing domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Miller, who denies the accusations of abusing Moreno and their daughter, made his pledge in a video on X ahead of a Wednesday deadline for ballot changes. The allegations, which include claims of scalding, hitting, and threats by Miller, and a broken collarbone on their daughter, have resurfaced and intensified scrutiny. Democrats see an opportunity in Miller's northeast Ohio seat and have called for his resignation and an ethics investigation. Miller, endorsed by Donald Trump, maintains he will win the election in November.

Senator Bernie Moreno has publicly stated that his former son-in-law, Representative Max Miller, should resign from the House of Representatives due to domestic abuse allegations. Moreno, an Ohio Republican, asserted that Miller is unfit for office and needs professional help, citing a pattern of abuse. These allegations stem from claims made by Moreno's daughter, Emily Moreno, who alleges Miller physically abused her and threatened her during their marriage. A recent report highlighted a custody dispute involving their young daughter, who sustained a broken collarbone, with differing accounts of the injury's cause. While Miller's spokesperson previously stated that child abuse allegations were unsubstantiated, he is facing increasing pressure to resign but has indicated he will not step down.
