Senator Moreno Relocates Family Amid Abuse Allegations Involving Rep. Max Miller

Sen. Bernie Moreno announced that he sent his daughter Emily Moreno, his granddaughter, and his wife to a “secure place out of state” after GOP Rep. Max Miller, Emily’s ex-husband, became the focus of renewed abuse allegations. Moreno said the move was intended to keep his family safe while the allegations are investigated. Miller has denied the claims and disputes Moreno’s characterization of the relocation.

Sen. Moreno told CNN that the relocation was a precautionary measure until his family “feel[s] safe.” Miller’s spokesperson countered that the family was not “whisked away to some bunker,” noting that Emily had requested a visit to relatives in Florida and that Miller knows the child’s whereabouts. Both parties have publicly rejected the other’s narrative.

In June, police-recorded video captured Emily Moreno describing alleged abuse by Miller, including an incident in which she said he held a gun to her. Miller has denied any wrongdoing, labeling his ex-wife “manipulative” and attributing her claims to mental-illness struggles. No court findings have been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The dispute has entered the political arena, with Moreno stating that Miller “should not serve” in Congress and describing him as “a danger to my daughter.” Miller, who remains in the 2026 reelection race, has vowed to stay in office despite the controversy. The conflict highlights how personal allegations can intersect with congressional campaigns and party dynamics.
