## Summary

Washington reporter Abby Vesoulis spent months investigating allegations involving Ohio Congressman Max Miller and his custody dispute with his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Her reporting drew on court and police records and brought scrutiny to claims that voters might not otherwise have seen.

Vesoulis obtained more than 2,000 pages of custody-case files and later gathered further records, including police reports. The documents included allegations of violence, a car crash involving alcohol and drugs, and injuries to the couple’s young daughter; Miller denied the allegations. After her story appeared on 18 July, other media outlets reported on the case, while the article argues that some coverage failed to credit the original reporting.
