Rep. Cory Mills Faces Eviction, Ethics Inquiry

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) faces eviction from his Washington, D.C. penthouse after allegedly failing to pay over $85,000 in rent and late fees, with court records showing payment problems since the beginning of his lease. Mills claims a broken online payment link prevented recent payments, but records indicate issues began earlier. He was first served notice for nonpayment in January, and his landlord set a settlement deadline in February. In February, Mills's girlfriend accused him of assault at the penthouse, but later recanted and no charges were filed. The House Ethics Committee is investigating Mills over possible financial improprieties related to federal contracts with his companies, while his business's investment fund recently collapsed due to debt. Mills has publicly dismissed critical reporting as biased and continues to dispute the eviction circumstances.
