Sen. Bernie Moreno said former son-in-law Rep. Max Miller "should not serve in the House" over abuse allegations made by Miller's ex-wife, who is Moreno's daughter.
However, Signorile then pointed out that court filings related to Miller’s ex-wife seeking of a restraining order against him included a text message threat that Miller made to Bernie Moreno.
“I’m sick of this, you know I never hurt our daughter. Take this however you want, everyone is going to get to know you better than your wife does,” Miller wrote to Bernie Moreno in the text. “Enjoy the ride brother, I wouldn’t have to do this if you could keep your lying daughter under control.”
Of course, this is just speculation. That definitely reads like a blackmail attempt, though, whatever the reason for it.
@celeste@kbin.earth , one more thing on this: the article you shared is very enlightening - I just read it. But it does not appear to have been shared on Lemmy (like in News, etc). I just tried searching for it.
Did you want to share it on News and/or a related topic? Or I could do it if you’d rather not. Thanks again!

I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you so much for providing that link. I fully agree with you - it does look like blackmail to me.

Oh, if you’d like to share it, go ahead! I must have seen it linked elsewhere.
Thank you so much! Done.
