Emily Moreno was married to Miller for two years before their 2024 divorce.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, on Sunday said his former son-in-law Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, "should not serve in the House" over allegations of domestic abuse made by Miller's ex-wife Emily Moreno, who is Bernie Moreno's daughter.
Miller, who is running for reelection, has denied the allegations and has sued his ex-wife for defamation.
In a post on X Sunday, Bernie Moreno wrote, "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."
Police reports obtained by ABC News show that Emily Moreno alleged multiple incidents of physical violence during their marriage and divorce proceedings.
In his Sunday post, Bernie Moreno wrote that he had "hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller's increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible."
Miller replied to Moreno's post, 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. This is all political."
