DOJ investigating Rep. Cory Mills: Sources
The Justice Department is investigating embattled Republican Florida Rep. Cory Mills, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
The investigation is in part about his finances, according to sources. MS NOW first reported the investigation.
Further details about the investigation were not immediately clear.
In a statement posted Wednesday, Mills called the investigation a "desperate lie from my political opponents."
"I am not aware of any DOJ investigation, nor has there been any confirmation of such investigation, and I would fully cooperate if there was one," he said.
"I have nothing to hide," he added.
Mills was elected to the House to represent Florida's 7th District in 2022 and reelected in 2024. He serves on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees.
Last November, the House Ethics Committee voted to establish an investigative subcommittee to examine allegations that Mills violated campaign finance laws and engaged in sexual misconduct and dating violence.
Regarding allegations of sexual misconduct, Mills issued a statement last year, before the ethics committee probe was lauched, stating in part: "These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions," and he accused a former Florida primary opponent of "weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack against the man who beat him."
