Embattled Republican Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is under active criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, Fox News has learned.
A source familiar with the matter told Fox News that the DOJ is investigating the Florida lawmaker, though the specifics of what he is being investigated for are unknown.
Mills, who serves on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees, has separately been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee regarding allegations of campaign finance violations, sexual misconduct, and dating violence.
Mills faces allegations of domestic abuse from an incident in February 2025 and a separate case of blackmail from July that same year, where he allegedly threatened to release explicit images of a romantic partner.
Mills has denied any wrongdoing and hasn't been charged with any crimes.
