Overview

• Rep. Cory Mills, a Republican from Florida, is under investigation for allegedly assaulting a 27-year-old woman in his Washington, D.C., residence on February 19.
• The initial police report described Mills as having physically pushed and bruised the woman, though she later recanted parts of her statement, claiming the bruises were unrelated to the incident.
• D.C. police drafted an arrest warrant for Mills, but the U.S. Attorney's Office, led by Ed Martin, declined to sign it, requesting further investigation instead.
• Internal Affairs of the Metropolitan Police Department is reviewing the handling of the case, including why no arrest was made at the scene and inconsistencies in police reports.
• Mills, who denies any wrongdoing, is a two-term congressman and has expressed interest in running for Senate in Florida in 2026.
