Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller addressed allegations of abuse made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, in a live-stream video on X on Sunday morning.

Miller has been accused of Moreno, the daughter of GOP Senator Bernie Moreno, of physically abusing her, and their young daughter.

Miller denied all allegations that have been made against him by his ex-wife during his live stream.

'Let me begin with the most painful accusation of all, I have never abused our daughter,' Miller stated, clearly reading off a script.

'I also want to address the allegations of domestic abuse. I categorically deny abusing my former wife,' he continued.

Among Miller's most damning accusations he addressed was that he physically abused his young daughter. Emails between the former partners revealed that Moreno asked him why their daughter had what appeared to be a bruise on her neck. 

Miller told Moreno the two were 'going finger painting,' and provided images of the activity both to his ex-wife at the time, and to the public in his Sunday release of documents. The 'fingerpainting' exchange allegedly took place 'just two weeks ago in mid-July.' Miller added that Moreno took their 'daughter to the hospital,' and that 'she could not wait to take her to the emergency room.'

In his Sunday speech, Miller defiantly stated that Moreno's allegations of abuse 'are incredibly serious criminal accusations, concluding, If these accusations were true, I would be in jail. I would be.' 

A number of times during his remarks, Miller seemed to struggle with reading his prepared remarks. His political team also released a slew of documents on Sunday that he believes address all allegations made against him by his ex-wife.

Addressing his political future, Miller noted, 'I'm not getting out of this race, and I'm winning in November, and I'll be back in 120th.' 

Miller had faced calls to both resign immediately and not seek reelection. 

In his Sunday livestream, Miller also described previous instances where he had been described as abusive, as actually being cordial or even positive with his ex-wife, and daughter, Ruth.

After Miller released the document, photos, and videos via a Dropbox link, they were briefly taken offline. 

Addressing the temporary absence, Miller noted in a post on X: 'Just to be clear: these documents were produced by my personal attorneys and paid for by me directly.'

The abuse claims originally reported by the Daily Mail trace back to June 9, 2024, when tensions between the couple first erupted.

One alleged recent attack came on February 1 of this year when Miller allegedly grabbed and struck Emily, 32, during a custody exchange at his Ohio home, leaving bruises on her arm, elbow, and torso as the couple's two-year-old daughter Ruth looked on. 

Miller released video of that custody exchange on Sunday as part of his trove of material.

The video appears to show Moreno leaving Miller's residence with their daughter in tow in a calm manner.

During another argument inside their Ohio home about their marriage and custody of their daughter, the Congressman allegedly hurled a pot of boiling water at Emily.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the incident say some of the water struck Emily's chest, with their daughter looking on.

Emily documented her injuries the same day in a photo that appears to show redness across her upper chest.

Miller has faced physical assault allegations from previous partners, including former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham. 

Miller's relationship with Grisham came to an end in 2020 when he allegedly pushed her against a wall and slapped her after she accused him of cheating, according to a 2020 Politico report.

In October 2021, Grisham wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post claiming that the Trumps 'didn't seem to care' when she told them her relationship with Miller had turned 'abusive.'

Miller filed a libel suit against Grisham in 2021, which was later dismissed with prejudice before reaching a jury trial.

One source told the Daily Mail in May that Miller often uses litigation and the expenses that come with it to silence women accusing him of physical abuse.

'He's a rich boy,' a senior insider told the Daily Mail at the time. 'So anytime anyone speaks out, he uses litigation and the expenses that come with it to keep them quiet.'

In April, news reports surfaced that Bay Village police were conducting an active investigation into suspected child abuse involving the couple's two-year-old daughter, who suffered a broken collarbone and bruised shoulder.

On March 4, Moreno filed a motion demanding a change in their custody arrangement, accusing the Congressman of 'dangerous physical behavior in the child's presence.'

'I do not believe it is in our child's best interest for [Max] and me to jointly make a decision for her. I fear that attempting to make joint decisions, and the lack of cooperation from [Max] in doing so, will cause direct harm to [their child],' Moreno wrote in the filings at the time.

The daughter's injuries triggered a separate investigation by the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services, according to TMZ.

Miller claimed in a March 13 court filing that he was 'apparently cleared' by authorities, though prior reporting has noted that the police investigation is technically still listed as active.
