Emily Moreno seeks restraining order against Max Miller as domestic abuse allegations plague his reelection campaign

Emily Moreno has requested a court order to block her ex-husband, Max Miller, from contacting her legal counsel during their ongoing custody battle. The request follows a series of domestic abuse allegations made by Moreno, who claims Miller repeatedly engaged in physical and verbal altercations with her and their daughter. Max Miller, a two-term Ohio congressman, has strenuously denied all accusations of violence, characterizing them as a reckless campaign by his ex-wife. While Moreno alleges that Miller threw her against a wall and held a gun to her head, Miller maintains that the court has granted him joint custody of their child, which he cites as evidence of the credibility of his claims. The allegations have drawn national attention, with some Democrats calling for a House Ethics Committee investigation. Despite the lack of a formal investigation yet, Miller continues to run for a third term in a Republican-leaning district, while his campaign team defends his reputation against what they describe as a malicious campaign by Moreno.
