Rep. Nancy Mace is calling for the censure and immediate removal of Rep. Cory Mills from key House committees due to a series of allegations including domestic violence accusations, conflicts of interest, and misrepresentations of his military record. The move comes amid questions about Mills' ethics and potential violations of House rules, raising concerns about the integrity of the institution and national security.
Rep. Nancy Mace , a Republican representing South Carolina, is spearheading a call for the censure and immediate removal of Rep. Cory Mills , a Republican from Florida, from his positions on the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mace's actions, directed towards House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, are rooted in a series of serious allegations regarding Mills' ethical conduct, potential legal violations, and misrepresented personal history.
Mace's central argument is that the accumulation of these accusations, including domestic violence allegations, conflicts of interest, and inaccurate representations of his military service, necessitates his removal from these critical committees. To emphasize the gravity of the situation, Mace intends to force a vote on the House floor to officially censure the Florida congressman, underscoring that the severity of the allegations demands immediate attention. In her statement, Mace emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of the institution and ensuring the safety of women, stating that a member of Congress facing such accusations has no place on national security committees. Her stance transcends partisan politics, highlighting the ethical responsibilities of the House. Both her formal letter to Speaker Johnson and the resolution she introduced point to the same set of accusations leveled against Mills, including a report from the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department. The report details an incident where Mills' girlfriend accused him of physical assault, and officers observed visible bruises on her arm. Furthermore, the woman reported that Mills instructed her to provide a false account of the injuries. Based on the evidence, the police determined there was probable cause for misdemeanor assault and issued an arrest warrant, which was sent to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. Mills' office has issued a statement vehemently denying any wrongdoing and expressing confidence that an investigation would swiftly clear his name.\The allegations against Mills extend beyond the incident reported to the police. A separate former girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, a Republican state committeewoman and Miss United States pageant winner, accused Mills of threatening to release intimate photos and videos of her, as well as threatening future romantic partners. This led to a court order of protection against Mills being granted by a Florida court, which concluded that Langston had reasonable cause to believe she was in imminent danger. In addition to the allegations of domestic violence and threats, Mace's resolution brings attention to a finding by the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC). The OCC discovered that companies owned by Mills secured nearly $1 million in federal contracts for munitions and weapons while he served in Congress, with a significant number of contracts awarded since the beginning of 2024. The OCC concluded that there is a substantial reason to believe that Mills may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law by entering into, holding, or benefiting from contracts with federal agencies while serving as a member of Congress. The resolution highlights the fact that one of Mills' companies, Pacem, has sold munitions to foreign nations, including Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and Colombia, during his tenure on the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees. This position provides him with direct oversight of U.S. military aid and arms sales policies. These revelations raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and the ethical implications of a member of Congress benefiting financially from companies that could be influenced by his committee assignments.\Further compounding the situation, Mace's resolution casts doubt on the accuracy of Mills' military service record. The resolution includes accounts from several service members who served with Mills and have disputed the events that formed the basis for his 2021 Bronze Star recommendation. Specifically, five individuals who served with Mills, including two individuals he allegedly saved, contested Mills' involvement in their rescue or his provision of life-saving care. One sergeant even described the account as a fabrication. The Democrats made an attempt to censure Mills and remove him from the Armed Services Committee, but the effort was withdrawn after a Republican measure to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat from the Virgin Islands, was introduced. The attempt to censure Plaskett was related to allegations surrounding her ties. A vote on this measure failed to pass, with some Republicans voting against the censure, others voting present, and Democrats against the censure. Rep. Kat Cammack, a Republican from Florida, expressed her dismay on social media, accusing fellow Republicans of engaging in a backroom deal to protect Mills. She described the situation as swampy and wrong. The developments surrounding Rep. Mills' conduct continue to unfold, raising concerns about ethical standards, the integrity of the House, and the potential for conflicts of interest within the context of national security and foreign policy decisions
