Emily Moreno filed a motion on Wednesday seeking the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit brought earlier this month by her ex-husband, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH).

Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), had claimed Miller threw scalding water at her in front of their young daughter in 2024. She made the domestic abuse allegations to news outlets, including the Daily Mail. Moreno also alleged he hit her during a custody exchange involving their two-year-old child in February.
