Overview

  • The House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) over allegations of holding federal contracts while serving in Congress, a potential violation of ethics rules.
  • Mills and his wife allegedly own entities that have received nearly $1 million in federal contracts, including munitions and weapons for prisons, raising concerns about conflicts of interest.
  • The Office of Congressional Conduct found substantial reason to believe Mills violated federal law and recommended the issuance of a subpoena due to his lack of cooperation with the investigation.
  • Mills is also under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department’s internal affairs division for alleged assault involving Sarah Raviani, though no charges have been filed to date.
  • The investigations highlight broader concerns about ethics enforcement, political influence, and delays in congressional oversight following the contentious end of the 118th Congress.
