Watch shocking new video of Trump-backed congressman Max Miller: Leaked footage of vulgar display… as photos of his girlfriend’s lewd shirt cause storm
Leaked deposition video shows Trump-backed Ohio congressman Max Miller making vulgar outbursts during a custody dispute with his ex-wife Emily Moreno. The case has become significant because Moreno has accused Miller of domestic violence, which he denies, and the scandal has transformed what should be a safe Republican seat into a closely contested race ahead of his re-election bid.
Miller, 37, filed for divorce from Moreno, 32, in August 2024, two months after she claims he threw scalding water at her. Moreno has also alleged he held a gun to her head and hit her during a custody exchange. During the September 28 deposition, Miller denied allegations he made vulgar remarks about childbirth and admitted to giving a false sworn statement about his girlfriend. The case has split Republican opinion: whilst Trump has supported Miller, Ohio Senators Bernie Moreno (Emily's father) and Jon Husted have called for him to drop out of the race. The scandal has moved Miller's race in Ohio's 7th District from solid Republican to a toss-up, with recent polls showing him trailing his Democratic opponent.

Max Miller is an Ohio congressman backed by Donald Trump who faces serious domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife. The allegations emerged through a custody dispute that began in August 2024, several months after Emily Moreno, his ex-wife, says he committed acts of violence against her during their marriage. Miller denies these claims.
Emily Moreno has accused Miller of throwing scalding water at her, holding a gun to her head, and hitting her during custody exchanges. Miller has disputed these allegations in court proceedings. The case involves prominent Republicans: Moreno's father is Bernie Moreno, one of Ohio's two state senators, which has caused a split within the party over how to respond.
The domestic violence allegations have significantly damaged Miller's political prospects. The Ohio 7th Congressional District was previously considered a safe Republican seat, but the scandal has made his re-election campaign highly competitive and uncertain. Some Republicans, including state senator Jon Husted, have called on Miller to withdraw from the race.
