Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is calling for the censure and “immediate removal” of Rep. Corey Mills (R-FL) from the House Armed Services Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, citing “a troubling series of allegations of ethical, legal and personal improprieties.”
The South Carolina congresswoman sent letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Los Angeles) on Wednesday, arguing that Mills' domestic violence allegations, alleged “conflicts of interest” and “misrepresentation” of military service are sufficient reasons to kick him off committees.
Mace also announced that she is the author permission force the House of Representatives to vote to convict the Florida congressman, saying, “These charges are too serious to ignore.”
“The Member of Congress accused of assaulting women, profiting from federal contracts from his seat, and inflating or falsifying his record has no connection with the Homeland Security Committees,” Mace said in a statement. “This is not about partisan politics, but about protecting the integrity of this institution and the safety of women.”
Both her letter to Johnson and her resolution mentioned the same allegations against Mills, citing a February report from the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that said his girlfriend accused him of grabbing, pushing her and pushing her out the door of his home.
“Officers observed fresh bruises on her arm,” Mace wrote. “The woman reportedly allowed officers to hear Mills tell her to lie about the origin of the bruises. Police determined probable cause for the attack and submitted an arrest warrant to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.”
The alleged victim retracted her claims shortly after the incident and the investigation was closed.
“Although the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation,” she said. said NBC News.
Mills' office also maintained his innocence, saying in a statement that the congressman “categorically denies any wrongdoing and is confident that any investigation will quickly clarify this matter.”
In July, another of Mills' exes—GOP state committeewoman and Miss USA winner Lindsay Langston—accused him of threatening to publish intimate photos and videos of her and harm her future romantic partners. In October, a Florida court granted her a protective order against Mills.
Judge found that Langston “has reasonable cause to believe that she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence without obtaining an injunction.”
Mills separated but still legally married his wife, former Trump administration national security official Rana Al Saadi.
Mace's resolution also stated that the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) found in August 2024 that companies owned by Mills “secured nearly $1 million in federal ammunition and weapons contracts while he served in Congress, with 94 contracts awarded since January 2024.”
The OCC concluded that “there is reasonable cause to believe that Rep. Mills may have entered into, retained, or performed contracts with federal agencies while he was a member of Congress, in violation of House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
The resolution also indicated reports indicating that one of Mills' companies, Pacem, sold ammunition to foreign countries including Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Colombia while he served on the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committees, giving him direct oversight of U.S. military aid and arms sales policy.
Mills' record was also questioned in the resolution, with Mace pointing to several service members who served with him who “disputed the version of events that formed the basis of his recommendation for the 2021 Bronze Star.”
“Five men who served with Mills, including two men Mills allegedly saved, disputed Mills' role in rescuing them or providing life-saving assistance. One sergeant called the story a 'fiction,'” Mace wrote.
On Tuesday, Democrats attempted to censure Mills and remove him from the Armed Services Committee, but withdrew that decision after the GOP moved to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) for her recently revealed communications with Jeffrey Epstein almost failedAxios reported.
Representatives Don Bacon (R-NC), Lance Gooden (R-TX), Dave Joyce (R-Ohio), voted Democrats opposed the measure to convict Plaskett, with Reps. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Jay Obernolti (R-Calif.) and Dan Mazer (R-Pennsylvania) voting “present.”
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) shared her frustration on social media, accusing her fellow Republicans of making a “backroom deal” supposedly to protect Mills:
“Tonight a handful of Republicans dove into voting to strip Stuck[e]“They did this to protect a Republican facing his own ethical issues from voting in a similar way. All this crap about backroom deals is dirty, wrong and always deserves to be talked about.”
