The House Ethics Committee said Monday it has issued more than 20 subpoenas and collected thousands of documents as part of an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL).
The committee said it plans to continue the investigation into Mills “in the coming weeks.” The inquiry includes a February 2025 incident where Mills was allegedly involved in a domestic violence incident.
“The Committee takes these and the other allegations very seriously and will continue to
review them in a manner that ensures due process and prioritizes witness confidentiality and safety,” the committee wrote.
Mills has been accused of domestic violence, stolen valor, and financial misconduct, but has denied wrongdoing.

Mills is also facing an expulsion threat from Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC). Mace, who is running for governor of South Carolina, announced her motion to oust the Florida Republican last month, saying “the swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide.”
The Mills investigation comes as three members of Congress have recently resigned amid alleged ethics violations. The departures include former Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, and former Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, who both quit before facing likely expulsion over allegations of sexual misconduct. Ex-Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a Democrat from Florida, similarly quit Congress ahead of a likely expulsion for allegedly stealing millions from Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster aid.
