Max Miller seeks restraining order to block ex-wife Emily Moreno from contacting his legal counsel during contentious reelection campaign
Max Miller, a two-term Ohio congressman, is seeking a court order to block his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, from contacting his attorney, Andrew Zashin. The request comes as Moreno continues to allegations of physical and verbal altercations between Miller and Zashin during their ongoing custody battle. Moreno alleges that Miller has been a violent and abusive husband and father, claiming he threw her against a wall and allegedly threw hot water on her during a2024 incident. Miller strenuously denies all allegations, asserting that he has joint custody of their daughter and that Moreno is making reckless claims. Miller argues that Moreno is mentally unwell and has evidence to disprove her claims of abuse. The legal battle includes a defamation suit filed by Miller against Moreno for the reputational harm caused by her public accusations. Miller also faces a defamation suit from Stephanie Grisham, a former White House aide during the first term of President Trump, who also accused him of physical abuse.
