Overview
- Recent reporting by multiple outlets has consolidated police interviews, custody filings and child‑welfare records that include detailed allegations from his ex‑wife about physical abuse and a child’s broken collarbone.
- In June, police footage and records obtained by news organizations recorded Emily Moreno’s claims that Miller pointed a gun at her, threw hot water and shoved her, which she said left her unsure how their child was injured.
- County child‑welfare investigators reviewed the child’s fracture but did not find enough evidence to conclude Miller caused the injury, and no criminal charges have been filed.
- Miller denies the allegations, filed a defamation suit against his ex‑wife in May, and has pushed back against reporters while House Republican leaders have largely declined public discipline.
- The disclosure has become a campaign issue, with Democratic groups targeting the district and Inside Elections moving the race toward competitiveness, creating possible midterm consequences for GOP leaders who have stayed silent.
