Rep. Max Miller, an Ohio congressman, is facing pressure to drop his reelection bid over abuse allegations. His attorney has apologized for releasing a sensitive image of his child in documents shared by the congressman.
Abuse Allegations and Child Custody Dispute
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of domestic abuse. Miller has denied the allegations and sought to defend himself by sharing documents related to their divorce and child custody dispute. However, the documents included a sensitive image of their child, which was taken in the context of an inquiry into an injury the child had suffered.
Miller’s attorney, Aaron Minc, took responsibility for the image being included in the link and apologized for the mistake. Minc stated that he had made multiple passes through the documents to ensure that no potentially sensitive details were included in their public release.
The incident has sparked outrage from Sen. Bernie Moreno, Miller’s former father-in-law, who has called for Miller to drop his reelection bid. Miller has vowed to remain in the race and has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate him to clear his name from the allegations.
