The Department of Justice is investigating Rep. Cory Mills amid allegations of domestic violence, stolen valor, and financial misconduct, with the FBI reportedly contacting people about his finances. Mills has denied wrongdoing as the DOJ probe unfolds, which coincides with an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation that began in August 2024 and expanded in November 2025 to include potential misconduct related to campaign finances, gifts, and the use of congressional resources. The dual investigations come as Mills faces steady political headwinds, including three GOP challengers in his August primary and fundraising struggles, ending the second quarter with about $81,000 in the bank. At times, Mills has faced public pressure, including an expulsion threat from Rep. Nancy Mace over ethics concerns. Reports also note prior incidents linked to the investigations, such as February 2025 domestic violence allegations, and Mills’s attempts to push back against the accusations while maintaining his campaign operation. Overall, Mills's legal and ethical scrutiny is shaping a competitive and closely watched Florida race.
