Police officers in Ohio were stunned after arresting San Francisco 49ers owner John &#8220;Jed&#8221; York in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49ers-owner-busted-in-prostitution-sting-at-trailer-park">prostitution sting</a> at a trailer park.
York, who has an estimated <a href="https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/nfl/2026/08/25/jed-york-49ers-owner-arrested-east-palestine-ohio-net-worth-wife-danielle-belluomini/91453250007/">net worth</a> of around $500 million, was accused of agreeing to pay $140 for sex at the trailer park in East Palestine.
The bodycam footage from the East Palestine Police Department was obtained by TMZ on Wednesday. The footage shows an officer approach York&#8217;s car, asking for his hands and telling him, &#8220;Don&#8217;t move.&#8221; York, wearing a gray New York Yankees t-shirt and shorts, held out his wallet, but the officer immediately unbuckled the NFL team owner and detained him.
&#8220;Can I ask what you&#8217;re doing?&#8221; York asked.
&#8220;What are you doing here?&#8221; the officer replied.
&#8220;Just driving,&#8221; York said.
&#8220;You meeting anybody?&#8221; the Ohio police officer pressed.
&#8220;No.&#8221;
York informed officers that he was driving a rental car. He is originally from Youngstown, Ohio, which is just over 20 miles north of East Palestine.
After York was placed in a cruiser, one of the officers commented on the large amount of cash that they found in his wallet. Police found $160 in cash in York&#8217;s wallet.
&#8220;He&#8217;s a real estate guy. He&#8217;s got all the money,&#8221; the other officer said, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s crazy the people that do this. Like, they could do whatever they want. Like, they could do other things. They could go other ways, but wow.&#8221;
York was nabbed after an undercover officer posted an ad posing as a woman on a &#8220;known prostitution website,&#8221; according to an incident report, ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49723635/49ers-owner-jed-york-contacted-fictitious-prostitution-ad-3-s-arrest">reported</a>. York allegedly contacted the undercover officer twice last Saturday, and reached out a third time on Sunday after his he didn&#8217;t get a response to the first two messages. After the third message from York, the undercover officer offered to meet York in East Palestine, according to the incident report.
York was initially charged with engaging in prostitution and possession of criminal tools before he accepted a plea deal that changed the prostitution charge to a disorderly conduct charge. York was absent from the NFL team owners&#8217; meeting on Wednesday, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/roger-goodell-confirms-league-reviewing-jed-yorks-plea-deal-for-possible-punishment">said</a> the league was reviewing the incident.
The 49ers owner filed for divorce in May of this year after a nearly 15 year marriage with his wife Danielle. The couple share two children.
York&#8217;s connection to the 49ers goes back generations as his grandfather owned the franchise for 23 years before passing ownership onto York&#8217;s parents, who in turn, passed the torch to York. The wealthy businessman is also a co-owner of Premier League club Leeds United and Scottish Premiership club Rangers.

San Francisco 49ers principal owner John “Jed” York was arrested in Ohio over the weekend after allegedly arranging to pay a woman $140 for sex at a trailer park.
East Palestine police arrested York, 46, on Sunday at the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community off State Route 170 on a charge of engaging in prostitution, according to <a href="https://abc7.com/post/san-francisco-49ers-owner-jed-york-arrested-ohio-prostitution-court-documents/19727825/">ESPN</a>. Prosecutors later amended the charge to disorderly conduct, and York pleaded no contest Monday to that charge and a separate misdemeanor charge of possessing criminal tools.  
Court records reviewed by <a href="https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/east-palestine-news/49ers-owner-arrested-in-east-palestine/">WKBN</a> reportedly say York was sentenced to one day in the Columbiana County Jail on each count, to be served concurrently, and received credit for the day he had already served. He was also ordered to pay $1,150 in fines. 
Under the agreement, authorities returned a cell phone seized during the incident to York, while $160 in cash was forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.
WKBN requested a police report on the arrest, which stated only: “On August 23, 2026, the East Palestine Police Department assisted the MVHTTF on the arrest of John York.”
York, who is originally from Youngstown, Ohio, took over day-to-day control of the 49ers in 2008 and became the team’s principal owner in 2024. He previously served as the team&#8217;s CEO before Al Guido was promoted to the role earlier this year. He has been <a href="https://www.49ers.com/team/front-office-roster/jed-york?utm_source=chatgpt.com">married</a> to his wife, Danielle, for more than a decade, and they have two sons.
The NFL is aware of the matter and will review it under the league’s personal conduct policy, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/2091938938881462434?s=20">ESPN</a> reported. As of Monday afternoon, the 49ers had not publicly commented on the charges.

One of the U.S. Senate&#8217;s foremost waste-watchers has her eyes on a loophole that is exploited across every area where the government can be exploited.
If a man owns a company that is caught defrauding the government, he can simply open a company in his wife&#8217;s or child&#8217;s name — even if they share an address and bank accounts — and the government will gladly pay it for the same service.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), who was elected more than a decade ago on a promise to cut the fat from government, said only the government would be naive enough to allow this, and she&#8217;s introduced a bill to stop it.
The bill comes after The Daily Wire&#8217;s Medicaid Millions series documented how African scammers seem to take a loose view of who is listed as the owner of something, putting companies in various associates&#8217; names as they see fit. Ernst, chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus, recognized the pattern — and saw that the potential for stopping fraud by closing the gap extended well beyond Medicaid home health care.
“The <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/5314/text?s=6&amp;r=1&amp;hl=S.5314">No Cash for Cohabitating Kins of Crooks Act</a> is the direct result of Luke Rosiak’s investigation that exposed family fraudsters milking Medicaid in Ohio, which I invited him to share with the Senate committee I chair,&#8221; Ernst said. &#8220;My own oversight uncovered other scam-ilies and criminal clans across the country who are also living lives of luxury off the loot being pilfered from public programs.&#8221;
&#8220;This bill will close the fraudsters’ family businesses by prohibiting hooligans living in the same house from getting their hands on taxpayer money,&#8221; she said.
Ernst, who is retiring in January, is a former auditor who has persistently delved into the minutiae of the government to find ways to reduce fraud and shrink the federal deficit.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-was-convicted-for-defrauding-the-government-now-medicaid-pays-his-wife-millions">Part 4</a> of our series documented how Robert Acheampong, a Ghanaian man in Columbus, Ohio, pleaded guilty to defrauding the government by billing for non-existent elder care. Then his wife, Esther Acheampong, created a Medicaid elder-care business, Omega Healthcare Services, that was paid $5.7 million by the government. (Such home health care businesses are inherently vulnerable to a no-show jobs scam.) The address was the same office suite used by Robert. Robert was released from prison but never paid his restitution, leading the government to issue a lien against him. Meanwhile, it was paying millions to his wife, with whom he lives in an upscale home.
In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-the-convicted-fraudster-running-a-million-dollar-medicaid-business">Part 2</a>, we showed how, according to Medicaid records, True Home Healthcare LLC is owned by Mamusu Kanu — but in actuality, it is co-owned by her husband, Alieu Conteh, who has multiple convictions for giving the government false names, and had his nursing license suspended for repeated trickery. Kanu bills the government as much as $100,000 a month for supposedly helping people; Conteh has been convicted of endangering children and theft. &#8220;Yes, I do have a lot of records,&#8221; Conteh told the Daily Wire. &#8220;My role, I sit in the office.&#8221;
A similar dynamic takes place across every aspect of government, such as defense contractors. Her bill would stop it all.
The proposed law says if the owner of a government contractor or service provider has their eligibility terminated as a result of fraud or a criminal conviction, the owner&#8217;s spouse and anyone who lives with him &#8220;may not enter into a contract with the Federal Government, receive a grant, loan, subaward, or reimbursement from the Federal Government, or enter into any other financial transaction for goods or services paid for in part or full by the Federal Government.&#8221;
Our series also exposed Roberta Acheampong, who renamed her janitorial company &#8220;One Community Mental Health&#8221; and billed the government $8 million. After our story appeared, the government indicted her and her husband, recognizing that husband and wife typically operate as one entity and share the wealth. The couple fled back to Africa together and are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/african-medicaid-scammers-exposed-by-daily-wire-indicted-for-fraud-flee-to-africa">now wanted</a>.
In June, the Ohio governor signed into law a comprehensive Medicaid reform package that was designed specifically to address The Daily Wire&#8217;s findings — but Medicaid is a joint state/federal program, and vulnerabilities still exist across the country.

An Ohio mother and her two trans-identifying live-in lovers stand accused of torturing her 7-year-old to death after he was found bound with duct tape inside a closet at the family’s home.
Veteran homicide detective Kyle Smith testified in court on Friday, calling this case one of the worst he’s seen in his career, as FOX56 reported.
“In my 21 years of law enforcement experience, this is probably one of the most disturbing examples of child abuse that I’ve witnessed: physical beatings and blunt force injuries from striking devices on the face, torso, back, and upper and lower extremities,” Smith <a href="https://fox56.com/news/nation-world/kaitlin-evans-nessa-keaney-kirby-rankin-three-people-charged-murder-young-boy-death-oakley-endangering-children-hamilton-county-coroner-autopsy-madison-road-home-investigation-suspicious-death-court-friday-cincinnati-crime-criminal-acts">said</a>.
Seven-year-old William Evans, who was developmentally disabled, was reportedly beaten, burned, and held underwater for extended periods of time.
Kaitlin Evans, 38, and her live-in lovers Nessa Keaney, 23, and Kirby Rankin, 33, have been charged with abusing and murdering the child. Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday that she “opened the closet door” and “just froze for a while” upon encountering the scene.
William’s cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head. The child’s skull was fractured, and his arm was broken, according to the coroner. Investigators were reportedly searching for a weapon associated with the abuse, and as of the latest reporting, sexual abuse had not been ruled out.
Sammarco said the child had likely been dead for &#8220;at least a day&#8221; before he was found.
The boy’s father did not live in the home. Per FOX56, he was openly sobbing in court and said to Evans, &#8220;Willie was my life. I trusted you to care for him.”
He added, “They kept him from me for the past nine months over lies.&#8221;
Evans’ lawyer said that the evidence will prove that “another individual who has been charged with this crime caused the death of this child.”
“We believe the state’s theory as it relates to Ms. Evans will be a failure to act,” the attorney <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/08/11/us-news/mom-trans-lovers-accused-of-killing-disabled-7-year-old-son/">said</a>, per The New York Post, claiming that Evans had not committed the crime herself but had failed to stop the person who did.&lt;
Evans, Keaney, and Rankin have each been charged with murder and child endangerment. They are currently behind bars as they await trial, with bond set at $1 million, with an additional $100,000 for all three of the accused.

U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) on Thursday <a href="https://x.com/SenJonHusted/status/2085421829708218751?s=20">called</a> on Rep. Max Miller to end his re-election campaign and resign from Congress, breaking his silence on the mounting domestic abuse allegations against the Ohio congressman.
The defiant and embattled congressman faces growing pressure to drop out ahead of a looming deadline as Republicans grow increasingly uneasy over allegations that he emotionally and physically abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter.
“Anyone who commits domestic violence is not fit to serve in Congress,” Sen. Husted said in a statement. “I know both Max Miller and Emily Moreno, as well as their families. I am deeply saddened that their personal lives have become such a public matter, especially as it relates to their daughter, Ruthie.”
Miller&#8217;s ex-wife, Emily Moreno — the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) — has accused the congressman of holding a gun to her head, throwing hot water at her, and fracturing their daughter&#8217;s collarbone, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/business/media/cnn-max-miller-jake-tapper.html">The New York Times</a>. Miller, who faces dimming odds of winning a third term, has denied the allegations, alleging his ex-wife has mental health problems amid a heated child custody battle.
Sen. Moreno was the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-senator-says-family-dispute-put-him-in-seventh-level-of-hell">first to</a> call on Miller to quit Congress, adding, “He needs serious help.” One reporter pointed to a statement from Miller in which he’d said Moreno was only attacking him to “hide from” his “own circus,” and asked what that might be referencing.
“The ramblings of a madman,” Moreno said, adding, “I don’t even know what that means.”
Earlier this week, Trump called Miller to warn him about his prospects, and Miller insisted he could weather the allegations — with Democrats needing only a handful of pickups to retake the chamber.
The political argument provoked a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/embattled-gop-rep-agreed-to-live-interview-it-didnt-go-well">fiery response</a> from Moreno, telling reporters, “Look, I don’t care about the politics. I hope that you understand — or maybe I hope that you never have to understand — what my daughter has been through, what my daughter is going through, what my wife is going through … this is truly the seventh level of hell.”
Husted, who is also locked in a tough re-election fight, piled on Thursday, arguing the serious nature of the allegations and their effect on the couple&#8217;s daughter warranted an immediate exit from Washington.
“Given everything they are facing, I do not see how a campaign for Congress benefits any of them. I believe Max would be making the right decision to step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress to focus on what is in the best interest of his daughter,” Husted said.
“Years from now, I believe he will look back and know it was the right choice for her,” he added.
In damage control, Miller went on <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/2084749681448374468?s=20">CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper</a> and delivered a performance many viewed as disastrous.
Tapper opened the contentious interview by asking about the stuffed “little blue bunny” that Miller’s daughter took everywhere and asked whether Moreno had been telling the truth when he said Miller had refused to return it for two days: “If it’s true, that sounds like emotionally abusive behavior toward the toddler, to refuse to give into her when she can’t sleep without it.”
Without answering the question, Miller said that he agreed that it “would be incredibly disturbing&#8221; if the senator was telling the truth.
Tapper continued to press Miller over a <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/2084750725213532441?s=20">Dropbox link</a> he shared to bolster his defense that included a photo of his daughter in a state of undress, The Daily Wire previously reported. The link remained live for about a day before it was removed along with the image.
Tapper noted that Miller&#8217;s lawyer had accepted responsibility for the &#8220;mistake,&#8221; but insisted it was still &#8220;shockingly reckless&#8221; to allow it to happen.
Miller objected, arguing that the photo was part of the evidence in a child protective services investigation and wasn’t that inappropriate — and claimed that it was being blown out of proportion by media outlets.
Tapper, clearly taken aback, asked how he could defend releasing such a photo — and Miller immediately claimed he wasn’t defending it.
“You just defended it!” Tapper replied.
As of Thursday, both U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump have stopped short of calling on Miller to step aside.

Another Prominent Republican Calls On Max Miller To Resign

2026 midterm election

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten warned on Thursday that Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) was likely to cost his party a seat in the upcoming midterm elections.
Enten laid out the polling in Miller&#8217;s race showing his standing has fallen sharply since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-moreno-accuses-max-miller-of-abusing-his-daughter-after-congressman-breaks-silence">accusations</a> of domestic violence surfaced and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Miller&#8217;s former father-in-law, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-senator-says-family-dispute-put-him-in-seventh-level-of-hell">called on</a> him to resign.
&#8220;Max Miller is going to cost his party — most likely cost his party a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives when we&#8217;re talking about the politics of this,&#8221; Enten said, &#8220;You can see quite well on the Kalshi prediction market chance to win Ohio [District] 7, look at this, Poindexter, the Democrat, 37% on July 25th, over the last few weeks his chances way up to 70%.&#8221;
In contrast, he added, &#8220;Max Miller&#8217;s chances, look at this, falling down through the floor, falling into Lake Erie, going from 64% now down to 30%. What seemed like a race that was favoring Miller is now favoring the Democrat Poindexter as this scandal has hit the press.&#8221;
CNN host John Berman jumped in to point out the fact that the new poll numbers had only come ten days after the first — and that was how quickly the race had turned on Miller.
&#8220;Is there a way to measure the impact that scandals have on House races?&#8221; Berman asked.
Enten laid out more historical data, noting that, on average, 85% of House members succeeded in reelection bids — but for those mired in scandals at the time of the election, the success rate dropped to 57%.
&#8220;Scandals matter. Scandals matter. I know a lot of people think nothing matters, but scandals still do matter in our politics,&#8221; Enten added.
He went on to say that another important factor was how much interest there was in a particular scandal — and the numbers were not working in Miller&#8217;s favor on that point either. According to Google Trends, searches in Miller&#8217;s district for information about him and the still-unfolding scandal were up 3200% over the previous two weeks.
Miller has repeatedly claimed that there is nothing to the accusations against him — but his attempts to interview his way out of public scrutiny have thus far been unsuccessful.

An enraged Ohio dad took matters into his own hands after his wife made a horrific discovery on his 11-year-old daughter’s phone: graphic footage allegedly showing a 20-year-old predator sexually assaulting the child inside their own Grove City home.
The very next day, 31-year-old Malik Chandler decided to turn the tables on the suspect, Diego Montoya Gonzalez. Posing as his young daughter on TikTok, Chandler <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/bond-set-rape-suspect-who-was-shot-by-11-year-old-victims-father/530-324c45ef-4adc-4054-8c32-a5090a66bf07">tricked</a> the alleged rapist into returning to the residence, CBS Columbus affiliate WBNS reported.
According to court documents, Chandler’s original plan was simple: dish out a severe beating, hold the perpetrator down, and wait for law enforcement to pull up. But when Montoya Gonzalez arrived at the apartment, the confrontation escalated instantly.
Chandler told investigators that as soon as he opened the door and confronted the visitor, the suspect reached into his pocket. Fearing the man was grabbing a gun and having previously seen him flaunting a firearm in TikTok videos, Chandler snatched his own handgun off the counter and fired, striking Montoya Gonzalez twice.
The wounded suspect scrambled away before collapsing in a nearby chair, where responding officers found him bleeding. He was rushed to Grant Medical Center in Columbus for treatment. Chandler, meanwhile, put his weapon back on the counter and surrendered to arriving police without further incident.
The protective father was subsequently hit with a felonious assault charge, with a judge setting his bond at $100,000.
Montoya Gonzalez soon faced his own severe reckoning in court. A grand jury indicted him on heavy charges, including rape, pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, and obstructing official business. Prosecutors <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/bond-set-rape-suspect-who-was-shot-by-11-year-old-victims-father/530-324c45ef-4adc-4054-8c32-a5090a66bf07">revealed</a> that a search of the suspect&#8217;s phone uncovered a nightmare cache of child abuse media, including a clip depicting an infant or toddler.
Appearing in Franklin County Common Pleas Court while the victim’s parents watched on, Montoya Gonzalez entered a not-guilty plea. A judge <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/08/04/us-news/dad-poses-as-daughter-11-on-tiktok-to-lure-her-alleged-rapist-to-home-to-shoot-him/">set his bail</a> at a combined $70,000. If he manages to post bond, the accused predator is subject to strict conditions: he must stay entirely clear of the victim and her family, and he is barred from using the internet for any non-work purposes.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) said Tuesday that his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), has put his family into the &#8220;seventh level of hell&#8221; as the increasingly public feud between the two Republicans escalates.
Miller and Emily Moreno, the senator&#8217;s daughter, have spent months battling in court over custody of their young daughter, with Emily accusing the congressman of domestic abuse and child endangerment. Miller has denied the allegations, sued his ex-wife for defamation, and publicly claimed she suffers from mental illness.
Speaking with entertainment site TMZ from a Capitol Hill hallway, Moreno addressed Miller&#8217;s recent statements and took questions about why he hadn&#8217;t gone public with his feelings earlier. The one topic he refused to address was politics, saying repeatedly that he did not care about how his statements could affect Miller&#8217;s re-election campaign — and, by extension, the balance of power in the House of Representatives.

&#8220;Did the lawyer for Max Miller apologize to you?&#8221; one reporter asked, and Moreno said he had not.
&#8220;Do you think that Max Miller should resign from Congress?&#8221; another asked.
Moreno turned to face the reporters and asked, &#8220;Did you read my statement?&#8221;
The Ohio senator went on to say that he believed Miller should not serve in Congress, adding, &#8220;He needs serious help.&#8221;
One reporter pointed to a statement from Miller in which he&#8217;d said Moreno was only attacking him to &#8220;hide from&#8221; his &#8220;own circus,&#8221; and asked what that might be referencing.
&#8220;The ramblings of a madman,&#8221; Moreno said, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t even know what that means.&#8221;
&#8220;What do you think about Miller telling Trump he could still win?&#8221; a reporter asked.
Moreno was adamant: &#8220;Look, I don&#8217;t care about the politics. I hope that you understand — or maybe I hope that you never have to understand — what my daughter has been through, what my daughter is going through, what my wife is going through &#8230; this is truly the seventh level of hell.&#8221;
Moreno spoke with the reporters for several minutes, explaining that although his family had been dealing with the situation privately for two years, he had not spoken publicly because his daughter had asked him to help de-escalate the situation with Miller so they could co-parent. <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/08/max-miller-moreno-domestic-abuse-allegations/688159/?gift=SKtFP-7gCBnFn1bNJdqPMn3BVXlEYS7QkYI0KH5aUiE&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share">Reporting</a> from The Atlantic appears to back that up, with the outlet citing several sources who said that Emily Moreno did not want her daughter to grow up and see articles and videos showing her grandfather and her father attacking each other.
All of that had changed, he said, when Miller gave a public statement on Sunday and claimed that Moreno&#8217;s daughter was mentally ill.
&#8220;My daughter lives in constant fear of this man,&#8221; Moreno said, adding, &#8220;You can&#8217;t fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad&#8217;s number one job is to protect your kids.&#8221;
He explained that he had been the one to pick up his granddaughter on Sunday because he didn&#8217;t want his daughter to have to interact with Miller any more than absolutely necessary — and that they had to arrange a pickup at a local police station &#8220;because I don&#8217;t know what this guy&#8217;s capable of.&#8221;
Miller, Moreno said, initially refused to return his granddaughter&#8217;s favorite blue bunny — the one toy that she always slept with: &#8220;This girl is crying at night because she can&#8217;t sleep without her little blue bunny. His answer is, &#8216;I&#8217;m just not going to give it to you.'&#8221;
Moreno also accused Miller and his attorney, in their attempt to <a href="https://x.com/anniekarni/status/2084611256019783703">publish evidence</a> that backed his side of things, of having released photos of his granddaughter &#8220;completely naked&#8221; — something that Miller&#8217;s attorney said was &#8220;completely unintentional.&#8221;
&#8220;My personal opinion is that this is a felony and that every single human being that touched that photo and transmitted it electronically should go to jail because it is illegal to do that,&#8221; he said.
Miller also addressed the ongoing situation on Tuesday, declaring his innocence and promising to prove it through an ethics investigation — which was <a href="https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/2084702476675031241">launched</a> Tuesday.
&#8220;In light of all the renewed interest in my family affairs I am going to file my own paperwork for an ethics investigation into myself to clear my name from these horrific attacks on myself and family. I have absolutely nothing to hide. We will be providing the committee all necessary documents needed for a detail [sic] examination,&#8221; Miller <a href="https://x.com/MaxMillerOH/status/2084665339799822436">posted via X</a>. &#8220;The accusations continue to change, but my facts stay the same. I am looking forward to my colleagues reading everything for themselves.&#8221;

GOP Senator Says Family Dispute Put Him In ‘Seventh Level Of Hell’

Bernie Moreno Says Max Miller Has Put His Family In 'Seventh Level Of Hell'

house of representatives

Senator Bernie Moreno and Congressman Max Miller traded blows on social media Sunday, with the former Ohio Republican accusing the latter of abusing his daughter, allegations the congressman denies.
For weeks, Miller has been dogged with rumors that he was abusive towards his ex-wife, Emily, Moreno&#8217;s daughter. On Saturday, Miller announced on X that he would make a public statement Sunday morning, which took the form of a <a href="https://x.com/MaxMillerOH/status/2083923492676706663">livestream</a> in which he denied the accusations against him, including a claim that he had thrown hot water on Emily Moreno. Miller dismissed the incident as &#8220;horseplay,&#8221; saying the water was not as hot as alleged. Miller also said that child welfare agencies had found accusations he had abused the couple&#8217;s two-year-old daughter &#8220;unsubstantiated.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not getting out of this race, and I&#8217;m winning in November,&#8221; said Miller, who faces a tight re-election race in November.
In response, Moreno said that he feared for his daughter and granddaughter when they were with Miller, and argued that the congressman&#8217;s actions rendered him unfit for public office.
&#8220;As 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&#8217;s divorce,&#8221; Moreno wrote in a lengthy statement on X. &#8220;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.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;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,&#8221; Moreno continued.
&#8220;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,&#8221; he added.
Miller responded by sharing a <a href="https://x.com/MaxMillerOH/status/2083939064462422509">number of files</a> he said would substantiate his claims. He also fired back at Moreno, saying &#8220;If my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable.&#8221;
&#8220;You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus,&#8221; Miller added. &#8220;This is all political.&#8221;
The family struggle has a political dimension, as both Moreno and Miller are strong allies of President Donald Trump. Trump endorsed Moreno in his 2024 Senate race, and Miller in his current re-election bid. The Times reports that some close to Trump are worried about Miller&#8217;s decision to publicly attack Moreno, which they think could imperil his chances at winning in November. Republicans have until Wednesday to replace Miller on the ballot, should they so choose.
Emily Moreno alleges that, during their marriage, Miller slammed her against the wall, held a gun to her head, and broke their daughter&#8217;s collarbone. Emily Moreno has since filed a restraining order against Miller, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/us/elections/max-miller-ohio-republican-moreno-election.html">according</a> to the New York Times, which also reports that the senator&#8217;s daughter is petitioning to end her shared parenting agreement with Miller. The case is expected to go to court in November.
Miller responded in his own court filings by calling his ex-wife &#8220;mentally ill,&#8221; and claiming that she was the one putting their daughter at risk. He also took the argument public, telling Spectrum News that she &#8220;sadly isn’t all there&#8221; and claiming in court that she was actively engaged in a smear campaign against him.
Telling the court that Moreno owned at least one firearm, Miller claimed that he feared for his own personal safety. He also asserted that their daughter&#8217;s broken collarbone had been the result of Moreno&#8217;s driving.
“It is shameful that Max Miller decided to go on a bizarre and lie-filled rant about his ex-wife to desperately try to save his political career,&#8221; Emily Moreno&#8217;s spokesman, Stefan Mychajliw, said in a <a href="https://x.com/stefanmychajliw/status/2083947202490114530?s=46">statement</a> Sunday. &#8220;There is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that.&#8221;
&#8220;It is despicable and abhorrent that Miller lied on an unhinged and humiliating video for their daughter to watch one day,&#8221; the statement went on. &#8220;No loving parent would have ever used their daughter as a PR pawn to save their own political career.&#8221;

Bernie Moreno Accuses Max Miller Of Abusing His Daughter After Congressman Breaks Silence

domestic violence allegation

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) was hospitalized on Sunday after her vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run crash near Toledo, Ohio.
The <a href="https://www.13abc.com/2026/08/02/congresswoman-kaptur-hospitalized-after-hit-skip-crash-with-non-life-threatening-injuries/">crash</a> occurred around 10:45 a.m. local time, and two people were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Kaptur, 80, was one of them. Reports thus far have not indicated whether Kaptur was driving the vehicle at the time or was a passenger.
The crash was classified by local authorities as a &#8220;hit-skip,&#8221; meaning that someone who was involved in the incident had fled the scene.
A representative from the Toledo Police Department told reporters that the investigation into Sunday morning&#8217;s accident was still in the preliminary stages, and that more information would be made available as they were able to piece things together. Police did not indicate whether or not the driver who fled the scene had been located.
Kaptur&#8217;s office released a <a href="https://www.toledoblade.com/local/police-fire/2026/08/02/u-s-rep-marcy-kaptur-hospitalized-after-car-crash-sources-say/stories/20260802111">statement</a> early Sunday afternoon, saying in part that the congresswoman was doing well and hoped to be back at work as soon as possible.
&#8220;This morning Congresswoman Kaptur was a passenger in a vehicle on her way to a church service when the car she was traveling in was struck. She is active, alert, and being treated for non-life threatening injuries,&#8221; the statement began. &#8220;We look forward to additional information from Toledo Police as they investigate the accident. Congresswoman Kaptur is thankful for the quick actions of first responders from Toledo Police and Fire Departments who arrived promptly on scene, and the medical professionals helping to take care of those involved in the crash.&#8221;
The statement concluded, &#8220;She expressed her deep gratitude to the hundreds of constituents who have reached out and looks forward to returning to a full schedule soon.&#8221;
Kaptur holds the honor of being the longest-serving woman in Congress.

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine isn&#8217;t happy with the Trump administration&#8217;s plan to deport thousands of Haitians who lost Temporary Protected Status (TPS) this week, warning the move would hurt the state&#8217;s economy.
More than 300,000 Haitian migrants lost TPS on Monday, prompting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to unleash officers to prioritize deportation efforts, instructing them to focus on areas that have been overrun by Haitian migrants like Springfield, Ohio.
One ICE source recently told The Daily Wire that arrests of Haitians are now being seen as a “priority” since TPS ended.
But in DeWine&#8217;s view, &#8220;It&#8217;s a mistake,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ohio-mike-dewine-trump-haiti-tps-immigration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBS News Monday. &#8220;It&#8217;s not good for the United States and it&#8217;s not good for the state of Ohio.&#8221;
DeWine argued that Ohio has seen an economic boom and that &#8220;60% of that growth has come from immigrants.&#8221;
&#8220;These are people who have helped Springfield really come back. Springfield has been making a real comeback. The Haitians who are living there and are employed there, they came there to work and they came there because there were jobs that were not being filled by other people,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;These are people who have opened restaurants, they&#8217;ve opened other businesses, they&#8217;ve rehabbed houses, they&#8217;ve created jobs, as well as filled jobs. And so to lose them and have them not be able to work anymore and possibly taken out of this country is frankly a blow to Springfield, and it’s a blow to the state of Ohio,&#8221; he said.

Springfield, where an estimated 20,000 Haitian immigrants settled in recent years, became a focus of then-candidate Donald Trump’s pledge to carry out a mass deportation on the campaign trail in 2024. At the time, Trump cited unconfirmed reports that Haitian migrants were stealing and eating residents’ pets and vowed to “absolutely” revoke their TPS if re-elected.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trumps-big-day-at-scotus-opens-door-for-border-crackdown-deportations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Supreme Court</a> handed the Trump administration a major victory in June that allowed the federal government to terminate TPS for Haitians and Syrians. The federal government first granted TPS for Haitian nationals more than a decade ago.
The administration argued that the designation, which was enacted after a devastating earthquake in 2010, was no longer needed because the &#8220;environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home,&#8221; according to CBS News.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also said that the Haitian population posed a &#8220;risk&#8221; to the United States and that the TPS designation was &#8220;not in the national interest.&#8221;
Citing continued political turmoil and &#8220;virtual chaos&#8221; in Haiti, DeWine decried Trump&#8217;s broader deportation plan for Haitians.
&#8220;Haiti is hell today. So you&#8217;d be sending people … back to hell,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Very few of these Haitians will voluntarily go back to Haiti. If they have to leave, they&#8217;ll go someplace else. They want to work. They want to support their family. They don&#8217;t want to go back to Haiti.&#8221;
