Emily Moreno, the ex-wife of Republican Rep. Max Miller, has requested a restraining order against her lawyer, Andrew Zashin, alleging that Miller has been harassing and threatening his legal team. The Ohio congressman, who is running for a third term, denies the allegations and has vowed to continue his campaign. Miller and Moreno share a daughter and have a history of court-ordered restraining orders against each other.

Moreno claims that Miller has physically and verbally assaulted her, including allegedly throwing her against a wall and holding a gun to her head.
