Overview
- The parties agreed Wednesday to a mutual restraining order that bars either side from contacting the other’s lawyers outside court or depositions and requires future depositions to be held at neutral locations.
- Emily Moreno has accused her ex‑husband, Rep. Max Miller, of physical abuse including an incident she says involved a gun, allegations Miller denies.
- Emily Moreno’s attorney, Andrew Zashin, sought a restraining order after accusing Miller of grabbing an attorney’s bag following a prior hearing, a claim central to Wednesday’s settlement discussions.
- Miller earlier posted a public link to family documents that briefly included a nude image of his toddler, his attorney apologized for the disclosure, and Moreno has filed a federal privacy lawsuit over the photo.
- The case remains active with further court dates next month, is under review by the U.S. House Ethics Committee, and has intensified political pressure on Miller while he remains the GOP nominee and the district grows more competitive.
