Florida Democrats are calling for further investigation into Republican Congressman Cory Mills.
U.S. Representative Cory Mills, a Florida Republican congressman and loyal ally of President Donald Trump, was recently accused of domestic violence against a woman who is not his wife. Congressman Mills “vehemently denies any wrongdoing whatsoever.”
The Florida Democratic Party said that despite Washington D.C. police sending an arrest warrant to an interim U.S. Attorney, the warrant has yet to be signed. Florida Democrats think Republicans are covering for a loyal ally of President Trump.
“Not even 100 days into the Trump administration and they’re already running cover-ups for Republicans,” said Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried. “It’s obscene but not surprising to think that Cory Mills may get away with domestic assault because he’s one of the president’s loyal soldiers. After all, Donald Trump himself was once found liable for sexual abuse. If the D.C. police thought the case warranted his arrest, it’s reasonable to ask why ‘Trump’s lawyers’ decided to ignore it. I also think it’s reasonable to ask what Cory Mills was doing in a luxury D.C. high rise with a woman who isn’t his wife.”
The FDP also wants Florida Republicans to join the call for a full investigation into Rep. Mills and to denounce domestic violence.
“The people of Florida deserve answers to these questions and more, especially from the so-called party of ‘law and order’ and ‘family values.’ The Florida Democratic Party is calling for a continued investigation into both Mills’s actions and the inaction of the interim U.S. Attorney. We’re also calling on the Florida GOP to join us in this call for a full investigation and to immediately denounce domestic violence,” FDP Chair Nikki Fried said.
