华盛顿讯——俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺周日表示，在虐待指控甚嚣尘上之际，他的前女婿、众议员马克斯·米勒不应担任国会议员。与此同时，米勒誓言将继续竞选连任，并强烈否认所有行为不端指控。
“如果担任民选公职需要基本的品格标准，那么马克斯·米勒并未达标，”莫雷诺在X平台的帖子中写道，“他不应担任众议院议员。”
最近几周，米勒的连任竞选一直被针对其前妻——也就是参议员的女儿艾米丽·莫雷诺——及其孩子的虐待指控所困扰，这些指控已在法律文件中披露。这位连任两届的俄亥俄州共和党议员周日早些时候在X平台的直播中回应了这些指控，他称有关自己虐待女儿或前妻的说法都是虚假的。
这番表态此前，米勒的前妻于上周向法院申请限制令，禁止这位俄亥俄州共和党人与她的律师接触。艾米丽·莫雷诺在法庭文件中指控，在围绕年幼女儿展开的监护权纠纷中，米勒曾多次与她的律师发生肢体和言语冲突。米勒和莫雷诺于2022年至2025年期间结婚，两人目前均有法院下达的针对彼此的限制令。
此次限制令申请是在艾米丽·莫雷诺针对米勒提出的数月指控之后提出的。在法庭文件和警方报告中，她指控米勒在2月份的监护权交接期间将她撞向墙壁，导致他们的女儿锁骨骨折并出现掌形淤青。她还指控米勒在2024年向她泼热水，并于去年用枪指着她。
米勒称这些指控不实，并指出自己仍拥有女儿的共同监护权，同时指责前妻诽谤他并虐待他们的孩子。在周日的直播中，他对针对自己的指控时机提出质疑，暗示这些指控是为了影响监护权纠纷。他辩称，前妻一直在有计划地提出“严重且破坏性的指控，却完全没有证据”。
他还公布了他认为能证明自己无罪的文件，称有关自己伤害孩子或虐待前妻的指控“极其严重”，“如果这些指控属实，我早就进监狱了”。他指出，县调查人员在4月份出具的一封信件终止了对他2月份是否虐待女儿的调查，称该指控“未经证实”。
艾米丽·莫雷诺的发言人斯特凡·米查利夫称米勒的直播“可耻”且“充满谎言”。
“有大量有据可查的证据表明，米勒有暴力和危险行为的前科，任何对受害者的羞辱都无法改变这一点，”米查利夫在一份声明中说道，“米勒可以在X平台上撒谎和狡辩，但他无法在法庭上宣誓后这样做。我们相信正义终将在法庭上得到伸张。”
周日，在米勒发布视频后不久，参议员伯尼·莫雷诺在X平台的帖子中称，过去两年对他的家人来说是“纯粹的地狱”。尽管他表示希望将此事私下解决，但莫雷诺称：“马克斯·米勒日益反常且危险的行为让这变得不可能。”
莫雷诺声称米勒“需要认真的心理治疗”，并称他是“对我女儿的威胁”。
“我认为马克斯·米勒需要寻求专业帮助，以结束他所留下的明显虐待模式，”莫雷诺在帖子中写道，“我认为在他做到这一点之前，不应让他继续自由地危害他人。”
米勒在X平台上回应了自己的前岳父，称：“如果我的女儿对我说同样的话，我绝对不会等两年才追究他的责任。”
“你知道这不是真的，你现在站出来的唯一原因是为了掩盖你自己的媒体闹剧，”米勒说道，“这完全是政治手段。”
Sen. Moreno says ex-son-in-law Max Miller shouldn’t serve in Congress amid abuse claims, as Miller vows to stay in race

Washington — GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio said on Sunday that his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, shouldn’t serve in Congress amid swirling abuse claims, as Miller vowed to stay in the race for another term and strongly denied all allegations of misconduct.
“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them,” Moreno said in a post on X. “He should not serve in the House of Representatives.”
Miller’s reelection campaign has been plagued in recent weeks by allegations of abuse against his ex-wife — the senator’s daughter Emily Moreno — and their child that have emerged in legal filings. The second-term Ohio Republican responded to the accusations in a livestream on X earlier Sunday, in which he said allegations that he abused his daughter or his ex-wife were false.
The statements came after Miller’s ex-wife asked a court to issue a restraining order last week blocking the Ohio Republican from contacting her lawyer. Emily Moreno alleged in court filings that Miller has repeatedly had physical and verbal altercations with her attorney amid an ongoing custody fight over their young daughter. Miller and Moreno, who were married between 2022 and 2025, have court-ordered restraining orders against each other.
The restraining order request followed months of allegations leveled by Emily Moreno against Miller. In court papers and police reports, she has accused Miller of throwing her against a wall during a February custody exchange and causing their daughter to suffer a clavicle fracture and handprint-shaped bruise. She also alleged that Miller threw hot water at her in 2024 and pointed a gun at her last year.
Miller has called the allegations untrue and pointed to the fact that he still has joint custody of his daughter, while accusing his ex-wife of defaming him and abusing their child herself. In Sunday’s livestream, he cast doubt on the timing of the allegations against him, suggesting that they were made to sway the custody fight. He argued his ex-wife has engaged in a pattern of reporting “serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence.”
He also released documents that he argued would clear him of allegations that he injured his child or abused his former wife, saying: “These are incredibly serious criminal accusations, and if these accusations were true, I would be in jail.” He pointed to an April letter from county investigators closing a probe into whether he physically abused his daughter in February, calling it “unsubstantiated.”
A spokesman for Emily Moreno, Stefan Mychajliw, called Miller’s livestream “shameful” and “lie-filled.”
“There is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that,” Mychajliw said in a statement. “Miller can lie and spin on X, but he cannot do so under oath in a court of law. We are confident that justice will prevail in court.”
In his post on X Sunday, shortly after Miller’s video, Sen. Bernie Moreno called the last two years “pure hell” for his family. And while he noted that he hoped to keep the matter private, Moreno said: “Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.”
Moreno claimed that Miller “needs serious psychological help” and called him a “danger to my daughter.”
“I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake,” Moreno posted. “I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.”
Miller responded to his former father-in-law on X, saying: “If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable.”
“You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus,” Miller said. “This is all political.”
