The Justice Department is currently investigating GOP Rep. Cory Mills, according to ABC News, The Washington Examiner, and MS NOW.
The federal probe is in part over Mills’ finances, ABC News said, citing sources.
“The Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., according to two sources familiar with the matter, adding to the mounting legal and ethical scrutiny facing the embattled congressman,” MS NOW reported.
“The sources didn’t disclose the focus of the DOJ investigation. But a third source told MS NOW at least one person was contacted by the FBI last year about Mills’ finances, allegations of misconduct and individuals in his orbit,” MS NOW reported.
The nature of the investigation is unclear but Cory Mills is facing allegations of domestic violence, stolen valor and financial crimes.
Earlier this year, GOP Rep. Nancy Mace filed to expel Cory Mills.
Expulsion is the only acceptable outcome for Cory Mills.

Mills denied the allegations and lashed out at Nancy Mace.
“This is a woman who continues to try and go after and attack people because she thinks it’s good for clickbait on social media, and for the simple concept of sensationalizing something that she can fundraise off of,” Mills said in April.
