2025年7月14日，美国俄亥俄州共和党众议员马克斯·米勒与众议院共和党研究委员会成员在华盛顿国会山举行新闻发布会，就宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市枪击前候选人唐纳德·特朗普一周年之际讨论反对仇恨政治言论的决议。……阅读更多

纽约8月2日 路透电 — 美国俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺周日就针对其前女婿的虐待指控发表讲话称，俄亥俄州联邦众议员马克斯·米勒“对其前妻构成威胁”，不应继续任职国会。
莫雷诺的女儿艾米丽与米勒的婚姻于去年结束。他表示，自己有责任“如今说出真相”，谈及过去两年对自己家庭而言“纯粹是地狱般的经历”。莫雷诺在社交媒体帖文中写道，米勒“对我的女儿构成威胁，只要他拥有我孙女的监护权，我就时刻提心吊胆”。

“如果担任民选公职需要具备任何基本的人格标准，马克斯·米勒都未能达标。他不应继续任职众议院，”莫雷诺写道。“我认为马克斯·米勒需要寻求专业帮助，以终止他留下的清晰可循的虐待模式。我认为在他做到这一点之前，不应让他继续自由地威胁他人。”
米勒已否认相关指控。他的发言人未立即回应置评请求，但米勒本人周日在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，驳斥其前妻的指控，并誓言将继续参加国会竞选。
莫雷诺对米勒的猛烈抨击，与他此前试图回避笼罩在这位共和党众议员身上的虐待指控浪潮截然不同。艾米丽·莫雷诺曾指控米勒用沸水烫伤自己，并对她和两人年幼的女儿实施身体虐待。
莫雷诺此前曾表示，他“不会在媒体上处理这些事情”，并将优先保障女儿和孙女的安全与福祉。这位参议员曾希望将此事私下解决，但米勒“日益古怪且危险的行为使得这不可能实现”，莫雷诺在周日的帖文中写道。
米勒和莫雷诺的政治崛起均得益于与前总统唐纳德·特朗普的密切关系。针对米勒的指控有可能将此前本属共和党稳固掌控的席位变为民主党在今年11月中期选举中的争夺选区。

民主党人仅需要翻转数个席位即可重新掌控众议院，目前共和党以218席对214席占据优势，另有三个席位空缺。

U.S. Representative Max Miller (R-OH) joins House Republican Study Committee members as they hold a press conference to discuss their resolution against hateful political rhetoric on the one-year anniversary of the Butler, PA, shooting of then-candidate Donald Trump, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 14, 2025….

- Miller denies the allegations and posted a video on X defending himself
NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Max Miller of Ohio “is a danger” to his ex-wife and should not serve in Congress, U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, a fellow Ohio Republican, said on Sunday while addressing abuse allegations lodged against his former son-in-law.
Moreno, whose daughter Emily was married to Miller until last year, said he owed it to his family to “speak the truth now” about Miller. Calling the previous two years “pure hell” for his family, Moreno wrote in a social media post that Miller “is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.”

“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives,” Moreno wrote. “I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.”
Miller has denied the allegations. His spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but in a social media post of his own on Sunday, Miller disputed his ex-wife’s allegations in a video recording and vowed to remain in his congressional race.
Moreno’s broadside against Miller marked a significant departure from his previous attempts to sidestep a drumbeat of abuse allegations engulfing the Republican congressman. Emily Moreno has alleged that Miller burned her with boiling hot water and physically abused her and their toddler daughter.
Moreno previously said he would “not litigate these matters in the media” and that he would prioritize the safety and well-being of his daughter and granddaughter. While the senator hoped to keep the matter private, Miller’s “increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible,” Moreno wrote on Sunday.
Miller and Moreno both owe their political rise to close associations with President Donald Trump. The allegations against Miller threaten to put what had been a safe Republican seat in play for Democrats in this November’s midterm elections.

Democrats only need to flip a handful of seats to regain control of the House of Representatives, where Republicans currently hold a 218 to 214 edge, with three seats vacant.
