WASHINGTON — The House Ethics Committee revealed Monday it has issued more than 20 subpoenas, reached out to dozens of witnesses, and pored over thousands of documents as it weighs “serious and complex” accusations against Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) — including domestic assault.
Of particular concern to the bipartisan panel is the DC Metropolitan Police Department’s probe into accusations that Mills attacked a female Republican activist at his penthouse, according to a rare update from the notoriously secretive panel.
“Although the MPD determined not to charge Representative Mills for assault following this incident, a decision not to bring charges is not a finding of innocence or ‘no wrongdoing,’” the Ethics Committee said.
The description matches details from a police incident report in February 2025 involving Iranian-American GOP activist Sarah Raviani, who claimed her “significant other for over a year” had “grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door” at the same location as Mills’ DC penthouse apartment, NBC Washington first reported.
The report described “bruises on her arm which appeared fresh,” but Raviani declined to press charges and later issued a statement calling the incident “a personal matter” saying she was “severely jet-lagged,” “had been drinking” and the bruising was “the result of medical conditions like eczema and activities from my recent trip to Dubai.”
She had allowed cops to listen to a recorded phone call in which Mills “instruct[ed] her to lie about the origin of her bruises,” according to the report reviewed by NBC, and the congressman “admitted [to officers] that the situation escalated from verbal to physical.”
The Ethics panel also noted that it is investigating a court injunction issued in October 2025 restricting his social media usage and contact pertaining to a woman — likely his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston.
Mills has denied wrongdoing and refused to step down from Congress despite the longstanding accusations, which also include stolen valor and financial misconduct.
The 45-year-old congressman is also facing a lawsuit from Langston, Miss United States 2024, who claimed he tried to blackmail her with revenge porn. The two were in a relationship until February 2025.
Mills allegedly harassed Langston via messages — including one May 15 text where he threatened the pageant queen to “Strap up cowboy” in anticipation of him releasing “recorded videos of her and Cory engaging in sexual acts,” according to a report made to the Columbia (Fla.) County Sheriff’s Office on July 14, 2025.

Two months before, he had told Blaze News that he was “going through divorce proceedings” with his wife Rana al Saadi, which stretched back “2.5 years” and that he had been “separated for three years” from her.
Fairfax County, Va., court records show that the divorce proceedings began, in fact, in July 2025 and were completed in February 2026.
In late April, the House Ethics Committee revealed that Mills’ investigation was one of 28 probes into sexual misconduct of members that have been publicly disclosed since 1976.
The list noted the congressman was being investigated for “Sexual misconduct and/or dating violence.”
The Florida Republican dodged a censure attempt, but Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and others are still pushing to oust him from Congress — despite their party’s narrow majority in the House.
That’s added pressure to Mills’ primary race on Aug. 18, with several GOP candidates vying to unseat him, including local TV news anchor Ryan Elijah, past opponent Ryan Johnson and Sarah Ulrich.
Reps for Mills’ congressional office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
