Senator Moreno labels Ohio Representative Miller a danger to family

The senator’s public condemnation marks a sharp pivot from his previous efforts to keep the matter private. Moreno cited his daughter's claims that Miller physically abused her and their young child, including an allegation that the congressman burned her with boiling water. According to the senator, Miller’s increasingly erratic behavior forced him to speak out, stating that he now fears for the safety of his granddaughter whenever she is in Miller's custody.

Miller has denied the allegations, characterizing the claims as false in a social media video and confirming his intent to remain in the congressional race. The conflict creates a political headache for the GOP, as both men share close ties to Donald Trump. With Republicans holding a slim 218-to-214 majority in the House, the scandal threatens to turn a typically safe Republican district into a competitive seat for Democrats this November. Trump told reporters Sunday that he had only recently learned of the accusations and would be reviewing the situation.
