Ohio Republican Rep. 
Max Miller appears to be falling into an almost manic state of desperation as his house of cards rapidly falls, exposing him for the disgusting abuser he truly is. 
As Miller's ex-wife, Emily Moreno, comes forward with more and more increasingly sickening allegations against him, Max seems to be growing more and more desperate to protect his crumbling reputation by attacking and discrediting hers. 
In a Newsmax segment that appeared to leave even the host stunned, the scandal-plagued GOP congressman made the bold and truly unhinged claim that his ex-wife's father, Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, once offered his own daughter $5 million to "go away" and leave her own family in the dust because she was simply so unbearably crazy. 
"In his own words, he told me that I could leave his daughter if I wanted to and he offered her $5 million to go away," Miller claimed in the interview. 
"These are private conversations that we’ve had together, and unfortunately him and I were very close—" 
The claim was so incendiary and nonsensical that Newsmax host Rob Finnerty was forced to stop the interview mid-sentence and ask for clarification. 
"Bernie Moreno offered his own daughter $5 million to leave you?" 
Finnerty interrupted. 
"No, no, no. 
Bernie Moreno offered his daughter $5 million to leave him and the family," Miller shot back, the desperate mania all but oozing from his pores at this point. 
"Explain that," Finnerty demanded. 
"Several years ago, Emily was such a problem for the family that Bernie Moreno — as Emily has told me, as well as her siblings — that in an argument, Ms. 
Moreno dislocated Mr. 
Moreno’s finger in an argument and offered her $5 million to leave the family forever," Miller rambled. 
"Do you have any proof of that, congressman?" 
Finnerty pressed. 
Miller's answer didn't even make sense: "Besides me being there as a witness within the family when we had good times, yeah, I was there, and I can affirm that to be true." 
The embattled Republican House rep. went on to claim in the same interview that his ex-wife Emily has severe bipolar disorder and was once even committed to a mental hospital. 
A source close to Moreno has already shot the claims down as "totally false" and "totally made up." 
In an article accompanying the face-to-face interview, Newsmax wrote, "An attorney for Emily Moreno has denied Miller’s allegation that she has bipolar disorder. 
Miller also did not provide documented proof of his claim that Sen. 
Moreno offered her $5 million to leave the family." 
Emily Moreno has credibly accused Max Miller of slamming her into a wall, attacking her with scalding hot water, pointing a gun at her head, and fracturing their 2-year-old daughter's collarbone. 
There was also a deeply disturbing situation surrounding alleged photos of their toddler's genitals somehow being posted on X. 
Amid the ongoing scandal surrounding his ex-wife, one of Max Miller's ex-girlfriends, Stephanie Grisham, who just so happens to be Donald Trump's former White House communications director and press secretary, recently filed for a restraining order against the Ohio congressman in connection with her own legal case against him.
