When asked about the allegations for a July 28 The New York Times article, Moreno's spokesperson said, "Senator Moreno's top priority is the safety and well-being of his daughter and granddaughter. While he will not litigate these matters in the media or respond to baseless public attacks, he will do whatever it takes to ensure a just outcome for his family."

Signorile noted that Moreno's "cowardly" lack of public support for his own daughter's claims might be to avoid hurting Miller's re-election chances, especially as recent polling has seen Miller's district trend from Republican-leaning to Democratic since the president's 2024 re-election.

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."

While the text doesn't clearly express Miller's exact meaning, Signorile pointed out that a March 28, 2024 Associated Press report found a profile seeking "1-on-1" sexual encounters with "young guys" on the Adult Friend Finder website; the profile was created using Moreno's work email address.

"Hi, looking for young guys to have fun with while traveling," the profile said, alongside its username, "nardo19672," which seemingly referenced Moreno's full first name, Bernardo, and his birth year and month. The profile also listed his full date of birth but didn't include a photo. Geolocation data showed that it was set up from an internet address in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where Moreno's parents owned a home in 2008. The profile reportedly stayed unused six hours after it was created over 15 years ago, but its data became accessible through a massive website leak in 2016.
