The D.C. police are actively investigating an alleged assault involving a 27-year-old woman and U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, a Republican representing a district northeast of Orlando. The incident, which took place in a luxury apartment building in The Wharf area of Southwest, did not result in an arrest initially. The Metropolitan Police Department is also looking into their handling of the case.
Mills’ office denies any wrongdoing and states that law enforcement was called to address a private matter at his residence. The alleged victim, who is not his wife, has stated that there was no physical abuse involved and that bruises were due to medical conditions and recent activities. However, multiple versions of the police report detail conflicting accounts of the incident, with one version indicating physical altercation and another stating there was no probable cause for arrest.
The D.C. police have sent an arrest warrant to the U.S. attorney’s office, which has not been signed, leading to further investigation. Mayor Muriel Bowser has confirmed an internal investigation into the incident to ensure proper procedures were followed. The case remains under scrutiny, with no charges confirmed yet.
As the investigation unfolds, stay updated on the latest developments regarding the alleged assault involving U.S. Rep. Cory Mills and the ongoing probe by D.C. police.
