Police Investigate Florida Congressman Cory Mills for Alleged Assault

Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida is under investigation by D.C. police for allegedly assaulting a 27-year-old woman at his apartment. The incident occurred on February 19, with police responding to reports of an assault and observing bruises on the alleged victim. Initial statements from the victim indicated an emotionally charged argument but denied any physical abuse, although police reports suggest otherwise, including allegations of physical contact. The Metropolitan Police Department is conducting a criminal investigation, while also evaluating how the situation was initially handled, as Mills was not arrested despite visible injuries on the alleged victim. Mills has publicly denied any wrongdoing and expressed confidence that the investigation will clear his name. The case raises significant legal and ethical questions, particularly as Mills considers a run for a Senate seat following Marco Rubio's departure.
