Congressman Cory Mills Faces Serious Allegations and Ethics Probe
The House Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) over several serious allegations, including:
- Campaign finance violations
- Misuse of congressional resources
- Dating violence and sexual misconduct
Judicial Restrictions Imposed
A Florida judge has issued a protective order against Mills, prohibiting him from:
- Contacting his ex-girlfriend
- Approaching her home or workplace
- Mentioning her on social media
Violations could result in fines or imprisonment. The judge cited concerns for the woman's safety and potential harm.
Scope of the Ethics Investigation
The Committee plans to examine:
- Mills' financial disclosures
- Campaign finances
- Acceptance of improper gifts during official trips
Mills' team has yet to comment. It's important to note that the investigation does not imply guilt.
Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Censure Resolution
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has introduced a resolution to censure Mills, which, if passed, could remove him from:
- House Armed Services Committee
- House Foreign Affairs Committee
Mace argues that Mills' actions have damaged the House's reputation and claims the Ethics Committee's investigation is a delay tactic.
Mace's Stance on Mills' Alleged Misconduct
Mace has been vocal about Mills' alleged:
- Misrepresentations of his Army service
- Violations of the protective order
She asserts that Mills' conduct disqualifies him from serving on national security committees.
