House Democrats Force Censure Vote on Rep. Cory Mills Over Assault, Ethics and 'Stolen Valor' Claims

The privileged measure requires floor consideration within two legislative days.

Overview

  • Rep. Yvette Clarke, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, introduced the privileged resolution against the Florida Republican, which Mills rejects as baseless.
  • The filing cites a Feb. 19 police response to Mills’s Washington residence where a woman reported being grabbed and shoved and showed fresh bruises, according to the report.
  • The Metropolitan Police Department says it investigated and presented the case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and an officer told Mills’s counsel the investigation is closed, with News4 reporting multiple report versions and an unsigned arrest warrant returned for further review.
  • The resolution also references a Florida ex-partner’s account of threats to release intimate images, her pending restraining order request, and a referral of the allegations to state investigators.
  • It further points to a House Ethics probe into Mills’s finances and federal contracts and raises questions from fellow servicemembers about his Bronze Star, allegations he denies.
