Judge quickly shoots down Trump-endorsed candidate's attempt to silence Stephanie Grisham

A Trump-endorsed candidate for Congress in Ohio is facing allegations that he was physically abusive to former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham during his time serving in the Trump administration.

Now, Max Miller's request to ban Grisham from talking about their relationship during her tour to promote her book, "I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House," has been denied by a judge, Bloomberg reports.

Grisham says Trump showed an "ongoing interest" in the details of their relationship until she told him that Miller had "anger issues and a violent streak."

"The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser — another abuser — in their workplace," Grisham said in an op-ed in the Washington Post Tuesday. "It didn't even seem to register on the president's radar screen as a concern."

After the article was published, Miller filed suit in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday claiming that Grisham's article was "replete with libelous and defamatory false statements." As Bloomberg points out, Judge Emily Hagan denied Miller's request for a restraining order on Wednesday but set a hearing for next week.
