消息人士:特朗普盟友敦促总统呼吁马克斯·米勒退出竞选,此前其遭家暴指控

据四位知情人士透露,唐纳德·特朗普的盟友们正敦促总统鼓励处境艰难的共和党众议员马克斯·米勒放弃连任竞选,此前米勒的前妻指控他存在家暴行为,且他的前岳父、参议员伯尼·莫雷诺也向其施压。

其中一位消息人士告诉CNN,随着米勒的竞选胜算引发的担忧加剧,一些众议院资深共和党议员已致电白宫官员寻求协助。这些议员明确希望特朗普能在候选人参选资格截止日期前呼吁米勒退出竞选。

另一位了解内部谈话的消息人士称,特朗普曾私下向部分盟友表示,考虑到这些指控,他认为米勒无法赢得选举,应该退出竞选。

米勒始终坚称会继续参选。上周末,莫雷诺表示,他的前女婿“不应在国会任职”。

特朗普团队中的一些人周一抱怨称,莫雷诺迟迟未直接谴责米勒,担心如今再敦促总统和共和党领导层全力施压让米勒退出竞选可能为时已晚。

“我真希望他能早点站出来反对这家伙,”一位特朗普顾问说道,“(米勒)听起来就是个十足的人渣。”

周一在白宫椭圆办公室一场无关的活动中,特朗普表示他认为米勒“是个非常好的人”,并补充道“会让当事家庭自行解决此事”。

“那些家庭,我知道他们正在处理。这是件非常令人难过的事,尤其是当你很了解某人时,要经历这样的事情,但这毕竟只是指控,”他补充道。

代表俄亥俄州东部选区的米勒所面临的争议,不仅可能危及他原本被认为稳操胜券的共和党席位,还可能威胁到共和党在今年中期选举中保住众议院多数席位的前景。

以下是关于这位共和党众议员相关争议以及他与前妻关系的详细信息:

米勒于2022年在新泽西州特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部与俄亥俄州参议员莫雷诺的女儿艾米丽·莫雷诺结婚,同年米勒当选国会议员。两人2023年育有一女。次年,米勒提出离婚,离婚手续于2025年完成。

与此同时,莫雷诺的父亲伯尼·莫雷诺于2024年当选参议员。

艾米丽·莫雷诺指控米勒存在多起家暴行为。CNN获取的警方视频显示,莫雷诺讲述了家暴指控细节,包括一起她称米勒用枪指着她的事件。

这些2月的采访是警方调查米勒和莫雷诺年幼女儿锁骨骨折事件的一部分。最终该案未提出任何指控。

莫雷诺于3月向法院申请重新修改监护协议,而米勒则于5月对前妻提起诽谤诉讼。

在6月接受CNN采访时,米勒否认了家暴指控,并誓言要为自己洗清罪名。他称持枪事件从未发生过,并表示自己将枪支存放在带锁的保险柜中。

莫雷诺的律师安德鲁·扎辛6月在一份声明中表示“法院已向双方下达了限制令,艾米丽会遵守该命令”。

上周的另一份文件显示,莫雷诺的一名律师请求法官对这位众议员下达限制令,指控米勒在俄亥俄州一家法庭外推搡他以及另一名律师的包。

米勒仍态度强硬,莫雷诺公开表态

米勒周日在X平台上进行了直播,为自己洗清罪名,他再次否认家暴指控,并誓言会继续参选。

“我的前妻一直在编造一系列令人难以置信、严重且具有破坏性的指控,完全没有任何证据,”他在直播中说道,“每一项指控都经过了调查……我每次都全力配合,因为我没什么可隐瞒的。”

他随后补充道:“我不会退出这场竞选,我会在11月赢得选举。”

直播结束后不久,伯尼·莫雷诺就其女儿与前女婿的关系发表了首次大规模公开评论。莫雷诺称米勒对他的女儿构成“威胁”,并表示每次米勒探视孙女时他都感到担忧。

“如果担任民选职位需要具备基本的品格标准,那么马克斯·米勒并未达标,”莫雷诺说道,“他不应在众议院任职。”

米勒随后在X平台上的一篇帖子中驳斥了莫雷诺的声明,称:“你知道这不是真的,你现在站出来说话的唯一原因就是为了掩盖你自己引发的媒体闹剧。”

米勒将在11月3日的中期选举中与民主党人布莱恩·波因德克斯特对决。

Trump allies push president to call on Max Miller to drop out amid abuse allegations, sources say

2026-08-03T16:02:19.589Z / CNN

Allies of Donald Trump are pushing the president to encourage embattled Republican Rep. Max Miller to drop his reelection bid, according to four sources familiar with the matter, amid claims of domestic abuse from his ex-wife and pressure from his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno.

As concerns have grown about Miller’s electability, some top House Republicans have phoned White House officials asking for help, one of the people told CNN. Those members specifically want Trump to ask for Miller to drop out before the deadline for him to appear on the ballot, that person said.

Trump has privately told some allies that he doesn’t believe Miller can win the race, given the accusations, and that he should drop out, one source familiar with the internal conversations told CNN.

Miller has insisted he will stay in his race. Over the weekend, Moreno said that his ex-son-in-law “should not serve” in Congress.

Some in Trump’s circle lamented on Monday that Moreno waited so long to directly condemn Miller, worrying it may now be too late to convince the president and GOP leaders to mount the full-court press necessary to push him out of the race.

“I wish he’d come out against this guy sooner,” said one Trump adviser. “(Miller) sounds like a real scumbag.”

At an unrelated Oval Office event Monday, Trump said that he believes Miller is “a very good person” and that he’s “going to let the families figure that out.”

“Those families, I know they’re working on it. It’s a very sad thing, especially when you know somebody so well, to be going through that, but it’s accusations,” he added.

The controversies surrounding Miller, who represents a district in eastern Ohio, threaten to jeopardize his chances of winning what was once thought to be a safe GOP seat, and could imperil Republicans’ chances of maintaining control of the House in this year’s midterms.

Here’s what to know about the controversies that have surrounded the Republican congressman and his relationship with his ex-wife.

Miller married Emily Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Moreno of Ohio, at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey in 2022, the same year Miller was elected to Congress. They had a daughter in 2023. The next year, Miller filed for divorce, and it was finalized in 2025.

Moreno’s father, Bernie Moreno, meanwhile, was elected to the Senate in 2024.

Emily Moreno accused Miller of multiple instances of domestic abuse. In police videos obtained by CNN, Moreno described the abuse allegations, including an incident in which she said he held a gun to her.

The February interviews were part of a police investigation into how Miller and Moreno’s toddler daughter suffered a broken collarbone. No charges were ultimately filed in connection with the case.

Moreno filed a request in court to reopen their custody agreement in March, while Miller filed a defamation case against his ex-wife in May.

In an interview with CNN in June, Miller denied allegations of abusing his ex-wife and vowed to fight to clear his name. He said the gun incident never happened and that he stores his guns in a locked safe.

Moreno’s attorney Andrew Zashin said in a statement in June “that the court issued a restraining order to both parties and Emily is going to abide by it.”

In a separate filing last week, a lawyer for Moreno asked a judge to issue a restraining order against the congressman, alleging that Miller grabbed him and another attorney’s bag outside an Ohio courtroom.

Miller remains defiant, while Moreno speaks out

Miller sought to clear his name in a Sunday livestream on X, in which he again denied allegations of abuse and vowed he would stay in his race.

“My former wife is engaging in a pattern of reporting incredible, serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence,” he said in the livestream. “Every one of these allegations was investigated … and I cooperated fully every single time because I have nothing to hide.”

He later added: “I’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in November.”

Shortly after his livestream, Bernie Moreno released his first extensive public comments on the relationship between his daughter and former son-in-law. Moreno said Miller is a “danger” to his daughter and said he is concerned every time Miller has custody of his granddaughter.

“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them,” Moreno said. “He should not serve in the House of Representatives.”

Miller dismissed Moreno’s statement in a later post on X, saying, “You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus.”

Miller is set to face Democrat Brian Poindexter in the midterms on November 3.
