Emily Moreno Seeks Restraining Order Against Max Miller as Abuse Claims Threaten Ohio 7 Race

Summary
Thursday’s filing asks a court to restrain Rep. Max Miller after Emily Moreno accused him of harassing her attorney during their custody fight, deepening a legal crisis days before Ohio’s Aug. 5 ballot deadline.
Court documents and police reports cited by multiple outlets also detail Moreno’s earlier allegations that Miller held a gun to her head, poured hot water on her and broke their daughter’s collarbone; Miller denies all claims.
Republican leaders have largely avoided demanding Miller step aside — Jim Jordan called it a “family matter,” while Mike Johnson pointed to House process and the Ethics Committee.
The fallout is spilling into the campaign: Cook Political Report upgraded Democrats’ chances in the traditionally Republican 7th District, and House Majority PAC has already spent more than $1 million in Cleveland.
