Judge Delays Ruling After Ex Testifies Against Rep. Cory Mills

Separate state and congressional reviews are underway into the Florida congressman’s conduct.

Overview

  • Lindsey Langston testified in a Florida courtroom Friday that Mills harassed her and threatened to share intimate videos after their breakup, and the judge continued the restraining-order hearing to a later date without a decision.
  • Langston’s petition includes messages she says reference revenge porn and threats to future partners, including texts reading “Strap up cowboy” and “Oh, I still have them.”
  • Mills denied wrongdoing, testified that any explicit videos were deleted and not sexual as referenced, said his phone was damaged, and characterized his messages as part of reconciling conversations.
  • Langston filed a complaint in July with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, which referred the matter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for review, and no criminal charges have been announced.
  • House Democrats introduced a censure resolution this week, and the House Ethics Committee is examining Mills’ business dealings, as separate reporting continues to question aspects of his Bronze Star and past financial disputes.
