There are no criminal convictions, indictments, or official ethics violations reported regarding Riley Moore. His career has been subject to the following public controversies:
In 2025, Moore drew criticism after taking photographs, including a thumbs-up selfie, in front of inmates at the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. Critics described the photos as dehumanizing, though Moore maintained he was gesturing in support of deportation policies.
While previously employed at the Podesta Group (2013–2017), Moore worked on a team representing the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. Although the firm was later linked to a federal investigation involving Paul Manafort, Moore was never identified as a person associated with any wrongdoing. Additionally, during his 2018 re-election campaign, Moore faced questions regarding his potential affiliation with an unregistered political action committee, 1863 PAC, though no charges were filed.
