Sen. Bernie Moreno publicly urged his former son‑in‑law, Rep. Max Miller, not to serve in Congress and called on him to resign amid allegations of domestic abuse. Moreno said Miller should not serve in the U.S. Congress and repeated his call for resignation, framing the demand around those allegations.

Moreno also made a separate, stark accusation about Miller's conduct toward family members. He accused Miller of holding a granddaughter's toy bunny "hostage," calling that act "depravity." Those descriptions come directly from Moreno's public statements and reflect his characterization of events within the family.

Moreno's public statements

Moreno's comments link his resignation demand to the domestic abuse allegations and to the specific family allegation involving the child's toy. He described both matters in strong terms, urging that Miller step down from his congressional duties. The senator's statements identify the reasons he believes Miller should not remain in office.

What remains unanswered is whether Rep. Max Miller will respond to Moreno's call or resign his seat. There is no confirmed report here on any official action by Miller in response to Moreno's statements. The senator's remarks add a public and familial dimension to the broader allegations, but further developments would be needed to determine whether they produce formal political or legal consequences.
