Miller, a Republican running for re-election, faces serious accusations-including physically harming Moreno, who alleged he threw hot water at her, held a gun to her head, and caused injuries to their daughter. Miller denies thes allegations. The dispute has resulted in a custody battle and a defamation lawsuit from Miller against Moreno.
