Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills is under investigation by the Justice Department, sources close to the matter have confirmed. This development marks another chapter in the series of challenges Mills has faced recently.
Insights from these sources suggest the inquiry is partly centered around Mills’ financial dealings. Repeated attempts for a statement from Mills’ office were met with silence, as they declined to comment to ABC News.
Initial reports of the investigation by MS NOW brought this issue to light.
As of now, the scope and specifics of the investigation remain shrouded in mystery, leaving officials and the public alike seeking answers.
Mills, who captured the Florida 7th District House seat in 2022 and secured his position in 2024, holds roles on both the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees. His tenure has been marked by both ambition and scrutiny.
Last November, the House Ethics Committee voted to establish an investigative subcommittee to examine allegations that Mills violated campaign finance laws and engaged in sexual misconduct and dating violence.
Regarding allegations of sexual misconduct, Mills issued a statement last year, before the ethics committee probe was lauched, stating in part: “These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions,” and he accused a former Florida primary opponent of “weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack against the man who beat him.”
