Rep. Nancy Mace, (R, S.C.) introduced a resolution on Monday to expel fellow Republican Mills, whom the House Ethics Committee is investigating for earlier allegations of financial and sexual misconduct. Mills has denied the allegations.
Growing calls to remove Mills follow the resignations of former lawmakers Eric Swalwell (D, Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R, Texas) earlier this month, both of whom were hounded by sexual misconduct allegations and were pressured by their House colleagues to leave office ahead of imminent expulsion votes.
But Mills, according to NOTUS, is weighing fighting back by drafting an expulsion resolution against Mace, who is under investigation over allegations of improper reimbursement practices.
Mace fired back at Mills on CNN, saying that “everyone has to be held to the same standard, Republican or Democrat alike,” adding that she was not “afraid of any predators.”
Mills has represented Florida’s 7th congressional district since 2023, and he serves on the House’s Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. Before joining Congress, Mills co-founded a defense contracting firm.
Last October, a Florida judge issued a restraining order against Mills after an ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, accused him of harassment. Langston claimed that Mills threatened to release intimate videos and hurt her future boyfriends after the two broke up following the incident in D.C. Mills has denied wrongdoing: “These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions,” he said in a statement last year.
The report said that Mills may have held weapons contracts with the federal government while serving in Congress. It reported that Pacem Defense/ALS, two entities tied to Mills and his wife, have been “actively contracting with the federal government” and had secured close to $1 million in federal contracts for munitions and weapons from January 2023 until the report’s date. The report said Mills had refused to cooperate with the OCC in the review.
Mills, an Army veteran, also faces accusations of misrepresenting his military career. He was awarded a Bronze Star in 2021 for his purported actions in Iraq back in 2003, though several others who served with him said they don’t remember him being present in the incidents that landed him the merit.
Republican dilemma
But Mace appears to be not the only Republican backing Mills’ ouster. Rep. Kat Cammack (R, Fla.) wrote on social media, attaching a Politico report about House Republicans protecting Mills: “Not this Republican. I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat. No one is above the law.”
Trump, however, appears to back Mills: in February, he endorsed him for re-election, touting him as an “America First Patriot.”
On Monday, the bipartisan House Ethics Committee released a rare statement, saying it remains committed to “maintaining a congressional workplace free from sexual misconduct and ensuring that any individuals responsible for misconduct are held responsible for their behavior.” It also called on those who have been victims of or who are otherwise aware of any sexual misconduct by a House member or staffer to submit a complaint.
