FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., has denied any wrongdoing in connection with an alleged assault in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Fox News has learned.

The Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said it was called to the 1300 block of Maryland Avenue, Southwest, at around 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday for the report of an assault. The incident is understood to have taken place inside his residence.

The MPD said it is conducting an active criminal investigation and did not provide any further details about the incident.

A spokesperson for Mills, a highly decorated former Army combat veteran and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence, released a statement to Fox News Digital stating that the Congressman denies any wrongdoing.

"This week, law enforcement was asked to resolve a private matter at Congressman Mills' residence," the spokesperson said. "Congressman Mills vehemently denies any wrongdoing whatsoever, and is confident any investigation will clear this matter quickly."

MPD said that once its leadership became aware of the matter, there was an immediate review of its initial response to ensure all procedures were followed. MPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau is currently investigating this matter, the department said.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was asked about the incident at a press briefing on Friday and said she is aware of the report.

"I can confirm that there is an internal investigation on making sure that all of our members did what they were supposed to do, according to MPD policy, so I can confirm that," Bowser said. "But I can't speak to anything about the police report."

WASHINGTON — Rep. Cory Mills was under investigation Friday after DC police responded earlier this week to a reported domestic assault against a female Republican activist.

Sarah Raviani, the co-founder of Iranians for Trump, is listed as the victim on a Metropolitan Police Department report acquired by The Post, which says the alleged assault took place around midday Wednesday in a penthouse apartment a short walk from the National Mall.

A separate police report, described by NBC Washington, states that Raviani told police that “[h]er significant other for over a year” had “grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door” and that there were “bruises on her arm which appeared fresh.”

That report also says Raviani let cops listen to a recorded phone call in which Mills “instruct[ed] her to lie about the origin of her bruises” and that Mills (R-Fla.) had himself “admitted [to officers] that the situation escalated from verbal to physical.”

In addition, the report obtained by NBC Washington stated that Raviani recanted her initial claim to the responding officers after Mills was told he was going to be arrested.

“This week, law enforcement was asked to resolve a private matter at Congressman Mills’ residence,” Mills, 44, said in a statement. “Congressman Mills vehemently denies any wrongdoing whatsoever, and is confident any investigation will clear this matter quickly.”

In a statement Friday, Raviani appeared to absolve Mills of any wrongdoing.

“Wednesday, I reached out to law enforcement to address a personal matter. Several factors influenced my decision to involve the authorities. I had just returned from a 14-hour flight, severely jet-lagged and sleep-deprived. Additionally, I had been drinking during my vacation and had a drink in front of me when the officers arrived, which contributed to my emotional state,” Raviani said.

“Upon their arrival, they noticed some bruising and marks on my arms, which I explained were the result of medical conditions like eczema and activities from my recent trip to Dubai. While the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation.”

Raviani went on: “Regrettably, the situation has since been misrepresented by reporters and led to relentless harassment from various sources. Words have been taken out of context, and my privacy is being disregarded. This is a deeply personal matter that is being unfairly exploited for political purposes or other motives.”

It is unclear how Mills, an Iraq War veteran and former US Army sniper, became acquainted with Raviani or why the two were together at the time of the encounter.

“MPD officers were called to the 1300 block of Maryland Avenue, Southwest around 1:15 p.m. Wednesday for the report of an assault,” the department said in a statement. “This is an active criminal investigation and there is no further information on the case to provide at this time.”

“Once MPD leadership became aware of this matter there was an immediate review of our initial response to ensure all procedures were followed. MPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau is currently investigating this matter.”
