Rep. Nancy Mace Proposes Expulsion of Rep. Cory Mills Amid Misconduct Allegations
On Monday, Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a resolution advocating for the expulsion of Representative Cory Mills (R-Fla.) from Congress, fueled by serious allegations including sexual misconduct.
Mills is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, facing charges of sexual misconduct, dating violence, and campaign finance violations. He has firmly denied any wrongdoing.
Calls for his removal have emerged from several Democratic members, but Mace intensified the effort on Monday evening by formally presenting a bill to remove Mills from his congressional position.
The representative stated, “The swamp has protected Cory Mills for too long, and we are done leaving it alone. We tried to censure him and remove his committee assignments, but both parties blocked that; we won’t back down.” Mace had previously introduced a resolution to censure Mills in November, which was subsequently referred to the Ethics Committee.
Mills’ office has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding Mace’s resolution. However, he appeared to welcome a discussion on the matter, telling Mace via a post on X to “move forward with a vote.”
Mace has not clarified whether she will explore procedural strategies to expedite a vote on the expulsion in the House. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) addressed the situation on Monday, cautioning against the expulsion effort: “We have a process here. The House Ethics Committee guarantees due process to every member who receives a complaint. That’s how the committee should operate. So, no, I’m not in favor of it,” he stated.
In response to Mace’s actions, Mills took to X, asserting that Mace is conflating allegations and accusations with due process. Notably, Mace herself is facing an Ethics Committee investigation due to allegations related to overcharging for housing costs, although her office has labeled the accusations as unsubstantiated.
Previous Investigations and Current Controversies Surround Mills
Last week, Mills characterized the proposed expulsion as a “democratic tit-for-tat,” insisting that he should not be compared to former Representatives Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzalez (R-Texas), who resigned under allegations of sexual misconduct. “I’m not married, and I’ve never faced any accusations from staff or interns,” Mills argued during an interview.
In a related context, Mills and his colleagues are currently targeting Rep. Sheila Charfilas McCormick (R-Fla.), who has been found guilty of 25 violations by Mills and the House Ethics Subcommittee. The Committee is set to issue recommendations for sanctioning Charfilas McCormick, potentially including expulsion, as she faces accusations of misappropriating $5 million in federal relief funds for campaign use. She denies all wrongdoing and asserts her intention to prove her innocence in the ongoing federal case.
Mills has a history of legal troubles that raise questions about his conduct. In February 2025, he was investigated by D.C. police following reports of an alleged assault at an apartment close to his residence. Authorities indicated at that time that no charges were filed, nor was Mills arrested.
Moreover, last October, a Florida judge issued a restraining order against Mills amid allegations of threats and harassment brought forth by his ex-girlfriend.
