Moreno’s comments were among several public developments in the dispute on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Miller’s attorney took blame for an unclothed photo of Miller and Emily Moreno’s daughter published in a trove of documents Miller made public Sunday to support his claims of innocence. Bernie Moreno said Tuesday he believes the publication of the photo amounts to a “felony” and that “every single person that touched that photo and transmitted it electronically should go to jail.” The House Ethics Committee also announced it is investigating allegations of illegal drug use and domestic violence against Miller, hours after Miller requested the probe in an effort to clear his name.

Key Background
Multiple Republican senators have expressed concerns about Miller and said they support Moreno’s judgment after he called on Miller to resign Sunday. President Donald Trump, who hired Miller to work on his campaign and in his first administration, has publicly supported Miller, calling him a “good person” on Monday, though he stopped short of saying how Miller should proceed politically. Privately, Trump reportedly has told Miller he doesn’t believe he can win in November, Axios reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with a phone call between Trump and Miller on Monday. Miller is running for a third term to represent Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, once considered solidly Republican but has leaned more toward Democrats in the wake of Emily Moreno’s allegations, according to election forecasters. Miller and Emily Moreno married in 2022, divorced last year and the allegations of physical abuse were first made public in a series of news articles earlier this year. Miller has vehemently denied physically abusing his ex-wife and daughter and sued Emily Moreno for defamation.
