He denied the accusations, which stem from allegations by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, including incidents of domestic violence and physical assault. The allegations gained attention after photos of injuries and reports of violent incidents surfaced, with some police response confirmed. Miller also responded via social media, calling the reports false and accusing media outlets of lies. President Donald Trump contacted Miller amid the controversy, expressing doubts about his reelection chances but affirming his support.
