Max Miller ethics probe, legal disputes, and reelection

Overview

Republican Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) remains under a House Ethics Committee investigation following domestic abuse allegations made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Moreno filed a restraining order in Cuyahoga County, alleging Miller threw scalding water at her, pointed a gun at her head, harassed her attorney, and caused physical injuries to their two-year-old daughter. While the Ohio Department of Children and Family Services found no evidence of child abuse and no criminal charges have been filed, Miller continues to deny the claims and has filed a defamation suit, characterizing some incidents as ‘horseplay’ or ‘politically motivated.’ Legal complications have intensified as Moreno filed a civil rights lawsuit against Miller and his attorney, Aaron Minc, alleging they recklessly published a nude photograph of their daughter online via a Dropbox link shared on X. Minc has accepted sole responsibility, calling it an ‘unintentional redaction error.’ Additionally, during a Cuyahoga County family court hearing, Miller issued a veiled threat toward his former father-in-law, Senator Bernie Moreno, suggesting he holds private information regarding the senator. In September 2026, Moreno’s attorneys raised concerns that Miller may have used Meta smart glasses to secretly record them during a court proceeding, an accusation Miller denies. Political pressure has escalated following a campaign advertisement by Democratic challenger Brian Poindexter. Miller’s legal team issued a cease-and-desist letter to the Poindexter campaign, labeling the claims as ‘false, malicious, and defamatory.’ Internal Republican friction has grown, with Senator Bernie Moreno publicly calling for Miller to withdraw from his re-election race, stating his daughter lives in ‘constant fear’ of him. The race has transformed into a major battleground: Democrats have spent approximately $17 million to challenge Miller, while Republicans have spent over $9 million.
