Rep. Cory Mills says he won't resign from Congress amid ethics probe into misconduct allegations

Key Points:

• Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., announced he has no plans to resign amid a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, dating violence, and campaign finance violations, maintaining his intent to seek re-election.
• Mills stated he is cooperating fully with the Ethics Committee, having submitted requested documents, but is uncertain when the investigation, which began in November, will conclude.
• GOP Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to expel Mills, criticizing perceived protection of Mills by "the swamp," though Mace herself faces an ethics probe for alleged overcharging of housing costs.
• Three other House members facing misconduct allegations—Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Eric Swalwell, and Tony Gonzales—resigned recently, all amid serious allegations ranging from theft and sexual misconduct to inappropriate relationships with staffers.
• The Ethics Committee found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 ethics violations before her resignation; Swalwell and Gonzales resigned amid sexual misconduct and ethics investigations, with Gonzales admitting to a prohibited romantic relationship with a former staffer.
