Now what?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            The controversies surrounding Miller, who represents a district in eastern Ohio, threaten to jeopardize his chances of winning what was once thought to be a safe GOP seat, and could imperil Republicans\u2019 chances of maintaining control of the House after this year\u2019s midterm elections.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Here\u2019s what to know about the controversies that have surrounded the Republican congressman and his relationship with his ex-wife.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Ex-wife, whose father is a Republican senator, accuses Miller of abuse<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Miller married Emily Moreno, the daughter of now-GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno, in 2022 at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, the same year Miller was elected to Congress. They had a daughter in 2023. The next year, Miller filed for divorce, and it was finalized in 2025.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Moreno\u2019s father, Bernie Moreno, meanwhile, was elected to the Senate in 2024.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Emily Moreno accused Miller of multiple instances of domestic abuse. In police videos obtained by CNN, Moreno described the abuse allegations, including an incident in which she said he held a gun to her.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The February interviews were part of a police investigation into how Miller and Moreno\u2019s toddler daughter suffered a broken collarbone. No charges were ultimately filed in connection with the case.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Moreno filed a request in court to reopen their custody agreement in March, while Miller filed a defamation case against his ex-wife in May.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In an interview with CNN in June, Miller denied allegations of abusing his ex-wife and vowed to fight to clear his name. He said the gun incident never happened and that he stores his guns in a locked safe.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Moreno\u2019s attorney Andrew Zashin said in a statement in June \u201cthat the court issued a restraining order to both parties and Emily is going to abide by it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a separate filing last week, a lawyer for Emily Moreno asked a judge to issue a restraining order against the congressman, alleging that Miller grabbed him and another attorney\u2019s bag outside an Ohio courtroom.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=8336\">Progressive Cori Bush seeks to return to Washington by ousting moderate Democrat<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\n        Miller remains defiant while Moreno speaks out<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Miller sought to clear his name in a Sunday livestream on X, in which he again denied allegations of abuse and vowed he would stay in his congressional race.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cMy former wife is engaging in a pattern of reporting incredible, serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence,\u201d he said in the livestream. \u201cEvery one of these allegations was investigated \u2026 and I cooperated fully every single time because I have nothing to hide.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            He later added: \u201cI\u2019m not getting out of this race, and I\u2019m winning in November.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Shortly after his livestream, Miller\u2019s former father-in-law, Bernie Moreno, released his first extensive public comments on the relationship between his daughter and former son-in-law.
