Representative Cory Mills Faces Scrutiny Over Assault Allegations and Near-Arrest
Republican Representative Cory Mills of Florida was nearly arrested following a 911 call from a woman alleging physical assault at his Washington, D.C. property. The incident, which occurred in February 2025, involved a 27-year-old woman who initially accused Mills of assault, showing police bruises on her arms. However, she later changed her account after a phone conversation with Mills. Body camera footage and an affidavit obtained by The Washington Post reveal that police considered arresting Mills, who has denied the allegations, calling them 'patently false.' The situation has drawn attention as Mills faces an investigation by the House Ethics Committee over various allegations, including campaign finance violations and misconduct.
