Rep. Cory Mills Under Investigation for Alleged Assault in D.C.

The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to sign an arrest warrant for the Florida congressman, citing the need for further investigation.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) is accused of assaulting a 27-year-old woman, described as not his wife, at a luxury penthouse in Washington, D.C.
The woman initially reported bruises to police but later recanted her statements, claiming the bruises were from medical conditions and travel activities.
Police reports indicate Mills allegedly instructed the woman to lie about the bruises and admitted the situation escalated from verbal to physical during a phone call with officers present.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to sign an arrest warrant submitted by D.C. police, requesting further investigation into the case.
The Metropolitan Police Department has launched an internal review of its handling of the incident, while Mills denies any wrongdoing and expects to be cleared.
