Emily Moreno alleges that Max Miller once held a gun to her head during an argument, according to police footage obtained in June. The footage also adds her claims of physical abuse against the Republican from Ohio, placing the allegations back into the campaign conversation before the 2026 midterms.
Emily Moreno and Bay Village
The footage documents a February interview in Bay Village, Ohio, between Moreno and police. In that interview, she described the gun allegation and separate physical abuse allegations involving Miller, who is up for reelection this November.
Moreno is Miller’s ex-wife, and Bernie Moreno has said his only comment in May was that he loved his daughter and that her and his granddaughter’s safety were his top priority. He has not called for Miller to resign or be expelled from the House.
House Speaker Mike Johnson
House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked last week about allegations against Max Miller and Cory Mills. He replied, “The key word there is 'allegation,'” a line that left the accusations in place while avoiding any call for a separate House response.
That approach has kept the matter in a narrow public lane: the allegations are being discussed, but Republican leaders have not publicly pressed Miller to step aside. In an earlier segment, Mike Nellis said, “You let me know when we’re going to book a segment on Max Miller, because I haven’t heard a lot about it through Republicans,” while Rich Zeoli responded, “The topic today is Graham Platner.”
Max Miller and the House
The contrast matters because the allegations are being treated as campaign material even as House Republicans have kept their public comments limited. Miller remains on the ballot this year, and the dispute now sits in the space between a police-recorded accusation and a political response that has stayed restrained.
What happens next is not stated in the source, so the immediate question is whether House Republicans, law enforcement, or Miller himself will move beyond that restraint before the race tightens further.
