A lawyer for Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife has asked a judge to issue a restraining order against the congressman, alleging that Miller grabbed him and another attorney’s bag on Tuesday.
The filing alleges the incident, which it said occurred outside an Ohio courtroom where Miller and his ex-wife had attended in hearing in their long-run legal battle, was the second time the Congressman accosted his ex-wife’s attorneys after a court proceeding.
In May, the filing alleged, Miller made a crude comment about his ex-wife’s attorney’s fiancee.
CNN has reached out to Miller’s lawyer and spokesman for comment.
The request for a restraining order is the latest turn in a contentious and highly public custody battle between Miller and his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, daughter of Ohio’s Senior senator Bernie Moreno. Emily Moreno has accused her husband of abuse; Miller has denied the claims and countered that his ex-wife struggles with bipolar disorder, an allegation Moreno’s lawyer denied.
