Ohio Representative Max Miller (OH-07) has been facing allegations of child abuse leveled by Rep. Miller's ex-wife. Sunday morning, the Congressman responded, with a video statement and a release of extensive documentation, including documents, recordings and records. The video and the documentation were all released on the Congressman's official X account.
First, the video statement appears here.
Congressman Miller also released a Dropbox folder with the aforementioned records, which you can see here. The opening document states in part:
This packet contains the underlying documents, recordings, and records relating to allegations that have been publicly reported about Congressman Max Miller. It is provided so that reporting on these allegations can be checked against the primary record. Every factual claim made in the Congressman's public statement is supported by an exhibit in this packet, and the packet includes additional material not previously made public.
And:
Village Police Department records; orders and filings of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas (General and Domestic Relations Divisions); sworn discovery responses and deposition testimony; the parties' court- sanctioned co-parenting platform (OurFamilyWizard), which timestamps every message; Ring doorbell video; and audio recordings. All recordings were lawfully made under Ohio law (R.C. 2933.52, one-party consent). Where a recording has been filed with the Court, the filing notice is included in Section 04. Audio excerpts are continuous, unedited cuts from the original recordings; nothing has been spliced. In excerpts where the parties' minor child is named aloud, the name is masked with a brief tone; no other alteration of any kind has been made.
In the Dropbox folder, there is a "Summary for Reporters," a chronology of events, and an index of all the documents included.
Rep. Miller also notes that the documents were prepared by his personal attorneys and paid for by him "directly." Presumably that means with personal funds.
Rep. Miller has been endorsed in this reelection campaign by President Trump.
UPDATE - 12:40 PM EDT
Sen. Moreno responded to Miller's announcement on X:
https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/08/02/ohio-rep-max-miller-defends-reputation-amid-abuse-accusations-n2205082As a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife Bridget, our daughter Emily, me, and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily's divorce.
It has been horrific to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent two-year-old girl is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.
As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.
If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.
I ran for office because I wanted to make a difference for the country that gave me every opportunity to succeed, and to leave this nation better for my children and grandchildren. That sacrifice has been especially hard on my wife Bridget, whose big heart and steady support have never wavered. I owe it to her, to Emily, and to my granddaughter to speak the truth now.
