Lawyer for Ohio congressman’s ex-wife seeks restraining order against the lawmaker over alleged grabbing incident
The filing says Miller physically grabbed one attorney and another lawyer’s bag after a hearing, escalating a custody fight already marked by mutual restraining orders.
- On Thursday, Emily Moreno filed a restraining order against her ex-husband, U.S. Representative Max Miller, alleging he "physically grabbed Attorney Zashin" during a Tuesday court hearing.
- Moreno previously accused Miller of abuse including holding a gun to her head and throwing boiling water, claims the congressman has vehemently denied throughout their contentious custody battle.
- In the recent court filing, Moreno cited Miller's attorney, Larry Zukerman, who allegedly admitted during Tuesday's hearing that his client "just can't control himself."
- Democratic representatives, including Emilia Sykes, called on the House Committee on Ethics to investigate, while Ohio Governor Mike DeWine described the accusations as "certainly very serious and certainly troubling."
- Miller continues his reelection campaign for Ohio's 7th Congressional District, which The Cook Political Report recently moved to "Likely Republican" amid his ongoing legal challenges.
