Cory Mills Avoids Censure Vote as Ethics Probe Advances

“The House Ethics Committee said Wednesday it was moving forward with an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills, an announcement that came hours before the Florida Republican managed to fend off a censure vote,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The secretive committee said the inquiry would consider whether Mills violated House rules or federal law, including claims that he improperly disclosed—or failed to disclose—information on official filings; misused congressional resources or campaign finances; received gifts or favors inappropriately; and engaged in sexual misconduct or dating violence.”
