RESOLUTION
Providing for the expulsion of Representative Cory Mills from the
United States House of Representatives.
Whereas, on February 19, 2025, Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department
officers were called to resolve a private matter at Representative Cory
Mills's residence, where officers were called to the 1300 block of
Maryland Avenue, Southwest around 1:15 p.m. for the report of an
assault;
Whereas police reports obtained by NBC4 Washington confirmed that the
Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department was investigating
Representative Cory Mills for an alleged assault of a 27-year-old woman
that took place on February 19, 2025, at the residence of Representative
Cory Mills;
Whereas the first police report, provided to NBC4 Washington by a source and
confirmed by a second source familiar with the investigation, said that
the 27-year-old woman accused her significant other for over a year of
having grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door, and also
said that the woman involved showed the officer ``bruises on her arm
which appeared fresh'';
Whereas NBC4 Washington also reported that the Metropolitan Police Department
identified Representative Cory Mills as the significant other of the
alleged victim of assault--which alleged victim was a 27-year-old woman
who was not the wife of Representative Cory Mills--and that the alleged
victim ``let officers hear Subject 1 [now identified by MPD as
Representative Cory Mills] instruct her to lie about the origin of her
bruises . . . Eventually, Subject 1 made contact with police and
admitted that the situation escalated from verbal to physical, but it
was severe enough to create bruising'';
Whereas, on February 21, 2025, the Washington Post also confirmed two DC police
officials said that the alleged victim of assault initially told a 911
operator and police that she had been assaulted and that officers said
she also had what seemed to be visible injuries, and that while a
supervisor initially classified the offense internally as a family
disturbance, police commanders later learned of the incident, reviewed
the reports and body camera footage from the responding officers, and
reclassified the case as a domestic violence assault;
Whereas, on February 21, 2025, NBC4 Washington also reported that the
Metropolitan Police Department determined that probable cause to arrest
Representative Cory Mills for misdemeanor assault existed and sent an
arrest warrant for Representative Cory Mills to the United States
Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia;
Whereas, on April 18, 2026, the Washington Post reported body-camera footage and
documents show the alleged victim had noticeable injuries to the lower
part of her right eye and ``injuries/bruises to her arms consistent with
signs of a physical assault'', and the alleged victim stated the man who
attacked her, who she later identified as Representative Cory Mills, was
``a prominent person'' who ``has suddenly become very abusive'';
Whereas, on April 18, 2026, the Washington Post reported body-camera footage and
documents show Representative Cory Mills instructed the alleged victim
to explain the injuries she sustained by telling law enforcement they
``were from our vacation and that I bruise easily'' and later
Representative Cory Mills told police he wanted to call Pam Bondi, who
at the time was serving as Attorney General of the United States;
Whereas, on July 14, 2025, a different former romantic partner of Representative
Cory Mills, who was apparently in a relationship with Representative
Mills from November 2021 to February 2025, reported to authorities in
Florida that Representative Mills threatened to release nude images and
other intimate videos of her and threatened to harm her future romantic
partners in retaliation for her decision to end a relationship with
Representative Mills after seeing the public reports described above
concerning the alleged February 2025 physical assault;
Whereas, on October 14, 2025, the Circuit Court of the Third Judicial Circuit in
Columbia County, Florida, issued a Final Judgment of Injunction for
Protection Against Dating Violence against Representative Cory Mills,
based on a finding that his former romantic partner was a victim of
dating violence or had reasonable cause to believe she was in imminent
danger of becoming a victim of another an act of dating violence;
Whereas, in the Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating
Violence against Representative Cory Mills, the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit in Columbia County, Florida found Representative
Cory Mills acknowledged sending electronic messages, which included
``May want to tell every guy you date that if we run into each other at
any point. Strap up cowboy'' and ``You want to date or be with someone
else. Be my guest. But they need to know well in advance that if we
cross paths, I don't care this week, this month, or this decade. They
better damn well know it's coming every time'';
Whereas, in the Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating
Violence against Representative Cory Mills, the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit in Columbia County, Florida found Representative
Cory Mills acknowledged sending electronic messages, which included ``I
can send him a few videos of you as well[.] Oh I still have them[.]''
and ``Thanks again for the videos'';
Whereas, in the Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating
Violence against Representative Cory Mills, the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit in Columbia County, Florida found ``The
Respondent [Representative Cory Mills] acknowledged the Petitioner
requested he `please' leave her alone on May 22, 2025. Despite this
request, the Respondent [Representative Cory Mills] continued to send
electronic messages to the Petitioner through June 2025, ignoring her
eleven (11) separate requests to be left alone'';
Whereas, in the Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating
Violence against Representative Cory Mills, the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit in Columbia County, Florida found ``Petitioner
testified, and the evidence supported, the Respondent's [Representative
Cory Mills'] communications caused her substantial emotional distress
considering her professional commitments. She described herself as being
physically ill, curled in the fetal position requiring family
assistance, suffering hives, seeking professional therapy, and being
prescribed Xanax and Lexapro, which she took on multiple occasions due
to the Respondent's [Representative Cory Mills'] actions'', and that
``she altered her daily routine out of fear, impairing her ability to
perform her job duties and to live a normal life'';
Whereas, in the Final Judgment of Injunction for Protection Against Dating
Violence against Representative Cory Mills, the Circuit Court of the
Third Judicial Circuit in Columbia County, Florida found that after
Representative Cory Mills learned of the Petitioner's attempts to seek
an injunction for protection, he used the phone of the alleged victim of
the February 19, 2025, assault to contact the Petitioner, caused the
alleged victim of the February 19, 2025, domestic assault to contact
her, contacted her family members, and ``caused a public employee under
his direct supervision to contact'' her;
Whereas, prior to serving in the House of Representatives, Representative Cory
Mills founded Pacem Solutions International LLC and Pacem Defense LLC,
and acquired AMTEC Corporation (now renamed as ALS, Inc.), companies
which engage in security and military contracting with the United States
Government as well as foreign nations;
Whereas, in August 2024, the Office of Congressional Conduct found ``from
January 2023 to present, Pacem Defense/ALS, has been actively
contracting with the Federal Government, securing close to $1,000,000 in
Federal contracts for munitions and weapons, distributed to prisons
across the country. Specifically, since January 9, 2024, 94 contracts
have been awarded to entities owned by Rep. Mills'' and went on to
conclude ``there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mills may
have entered into, held, or enjoyed contracts with Federal agencies
while he was a Member of Congress in violation of House rules, standards
of conduct, and Federal law'';
Whereas, in August 2024, the Office of Congressional Conduct noted ``According
to its website, Pacem Solutions is currently registered and/or partnered
with trusted local firms to work in the following countries: United
States, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, UAE, Australia, Kenya, Malaysia and
Kuwait.'' Public reports indicate companies owned by Representative Cory
Mills sought, or entered into contracts, to sell munitions to foreign
nations while serving as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
and the Committee on Armed Services--representing a clear and troubling
conflict of interest;
Whereas, in August 2024, the Office of Congressional Conduct adopted and
transmitted to the Committee on Ethics of the House of Representatives a
report indicating that there was substantial reason to believe that
Representative Cory Mills may have omitted or misrepresented required
information in his financial disclosure statements, accepted excessive
contributions to his campaign committee in the form of personal loans
and contributions that may not have derived from Representative Cory
Mills' personal funds, and entered into, enjoyed, or held contracts with
Federal agencies;
Whereas individuals who served in the military with Representative Cory Mills
have called into question the veracity of the account of events which
formed the basis of a recommendation that Representative Cory Mills
receive an award of a Bronze Star, bestowed in 2021, for his service
under enemy fire in Iraq in 2003;
Whereas, in August 2024, Representative Cory Mills provided the Daytona Beach
News with documents purporting to prove that he earned a Bronze Star
with heroism, including a Department of the Army Form 638 recommending
Representative Cory Mills for a Bronze Star which includes a signature
from then-Army Brigade Commander Arnold N. Gordon-Bray;
Whereas Retired Brigadier General Arnold N. Gordon-Bray has stated he did not
personally write, read, or sign the Department of the Army Form 638
recommending Representative Cory Mills for a Bronze Star;
Whereas five people who served with Representative Cory Mills, including two men
who were reported as having been personally saved by Representative Cory
Mills at great risk to his own life as a basis for the recommendation
for his Bronze Star in the Department of the Army Form 638, disputed
that Representative Cory Mills was involved in their rescue or provided
life-saving care;
Whereas one Private First Class cited as having been involved in one of the
listed achievements on Representative Cory Mills's Army Form 638
recommending him for a Bronze Star denied that Representative Cory Mills
provided him any aid and also denied that his injuries were life
threatening;
Whereas one Sergeant cited as having been involved in one of the listed
achievements on Representative Cory Mills's Army Form 638 recommending
him for a Bronze Star called the account a ``fabrication'' and claimed
that he ``was not involved in any claims that Cory Mills makes about
me'';
Whereas Representative Cory Mills's employment application to DynCorp
Internation al stated he served in the United States Army 75th Ranger
Regiment and attended United States Army Sniper School, claims which are
not corroborated by his military records; and
Whereas such conduct by Representative Cory Mills affects the dignity and
integrity of the proceedings of the House and brings discredit upon the
House: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That pursuant to article I, section 5, clause 2 of the
Constitution of the United States, Representative Cory Mills, be, and
he hereby is, expelled from the United States House of Representatives.
