It remains unclear what prompted Ohio Republican Representative Max Miller to sit down for a 20-minute direct-to-camera livestream on Sunday, August 2, during which he denied the allegations that he had mistreated his former wife, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Ohio GOP Senator Bernie Moreno. A handful of recent reports—including a thorough Mother Jones piece published on July 18 and coverage in the New York Times on July 28 detailing Moreno’s claims that he had sprayed hot water on her, pressed a gun to her head, and shoved her against a wall—may have supplied the impetus for him to challenge the accusations on video.
