Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) is refusing to drop his re-election bid despite allegations of domestic and child abuse from his ex-wife.

“Just want to be clear: no court, no agency has ever substantiated any allegation of abuse against me. No criminal charge has ever been filed against me,” Miller said in an announcement on Twitter Sunday. “Every single one of these allegations were already investigated, and I cooperated fully every single time because I had nothing to hide and I have nothing to hide now.”

Miller’s statement comes after his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, alleged that he abused her and their child during and after their three-year marriage.

Moreno reportedly told police that Miller threw hot water on her and threw her against a wall. Moreno also said that he held a gun to her head and broke his daughter’s collarbone.

The couple divorced in August 2024 and agreed to joint custody. But they are locked in a heated battle now as each seeks sole custody.

Miller claimed on Sunday that Moreno suffers from a mental illness and that this has fueled her abuse allegations against him, adding that he is “not raising that to embarrass her, to attack her” but that he hopes “she received every bit of care and support that she needs.”

“My former wife is engaging in a pattern of reporting incredible, serious, and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence,” Miller said. “Every one of these allegations was investigated.”

Moreno’s attorneys have denied that she suffers from mental health issues.

Miller also blamed the media for reporting on the allegations and urged his supporters to read documents he released on social media, which he alleged would clear his name.

“The left-wing media already has a narrative that’s chopping it up into reality for them. So I’m going to use my platform to share the facts in this very genuine way,” he said.

Miller is a former Trump aide who ran for office in 2022 and won after Trump endorsed him. The embattled congressman said he is not leaving the race.

“I’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in November,” he said.

After his remarks, Miller’s former father-in-law, U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), called him “dangerous” and said he should not be in public office.

“As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help,” Moreno said on Twitter Sunday morning. “He 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,” Moreno continued. “He should not serve in the House of Representatives. 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 fired back, accusing Sen. Moreno of playing politics.

“If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable,” he wrote in a post on Twitter. “You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus. This is all political.”

Miller is facing Democrat Brian Poindexter in November to hold on to his seat in Ohio’s 7th congressional district. Democrats believe they can flip the seat with Miller on the ballot.
