Trump raises concerns in call with Rep. Max Miller amid abuse allegations
Ohio Rep. Max Miller's reelection campaign has been upended by allegations that Miller assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their 2-year-old daughter.
President Trump reached out to Rep. Max Miller on Monday to express concerns about the Ohio Republican's reelection campaign following allegations that Miller allegedly assaulted his ex-wife and their young daughter. Miller, who has vehemently denied the accusations, stated to the president that he has no intention of withdrawing from the race.
Miller cited his campaign's internal polling data, asserting that it demonstrated his strong position in the election. However, the accuracy of these internal polling results remains unverified by CBS News. Miller argued that stepping down from office would imply a significant decline in American values and insisted he is innocent of all allegations.
Emily Moreno, Miller's ex-wife and daughter of GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno, has filed court papers and police reports accusing Miller of various violent acts. She has petitioned for a restraining order to prevent Miller from contacting her lawyer, alleging frequent physical and verbal altercations between them during their custody dispute.
Despite the allegations, Miller has maintained his innocence and has accused his ex-wife of defamation and abusing their daughter. The senator's daughter urged him to step down from Congress due to the alleged behavior, calling him a danger to others until he seeks professional help.
