Cory Mills (R-FL) is currently under investigation by teh Department of Justice,though the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >specific reasons remain unclear<\/a>,and the DOJ has not commented. Mills faces allegations of domestic violence, stolen valor, and financial misconduct, which he denies. Additionally, Mills is subject to a House Ethics Committee investigation initiated in August 2024, with a subcommittee established in November 2025, partly based on a February 2025 domestic violence incident. The FBI reportedly contacted at least one individual regarding Mills&#8217;s finances last year. Mills also faces political challenges, including a primary race with three GOP challengers, a lawsuit regarding his qualification paperwork that was dismissed, and struggles with fundraising, ending the second quarter with only $81,000 in funds.Moreover, he faced a potential expulsion threat from Rep. Nancy Mace, who criticized the House &#8220;swamp&#8221; for protecting him.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embattled Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4545678\/cory-mills-primary-challenger-misconduct-allegations\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4545678\/cory-mills-primary-challenger-misconduct-allegations\/\">Cory Mills<\/a> (R-FL) is under an investigation by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"438\">Department of Justice<\/a>, a source familiar confirmed to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unclear why the DOJ is investigating Mills, and the agency did not respond to a request for comment.
