is this why they pulled Stefanik UN nomination? Do they expect to lose Mills? seems so cut and dry that I am shocked he even tried to do it Ethics watchdog says Congressman Cory Mills may have lied about finances and isn't cooperating Cory Mills, whose military background and fortune from a grenade-manufacturing business helped him win a Florida congressional seat in 2022, is being investigated by Congress for possibly lying on his personal financial disclosures and campaign finance filings, according to records released Thursday. The board of the Office of Congressional Conduct, formerly called the Office of Congressional Ethics, said that Mills's inconsistent financial statements raised questions about how he got $1.8 million to fund his campaign in 2021 and 2022. The report was prepared in August 2024 and kept confidential until now because the House Ethics Committee is continuing to investigate. The office also said Mills, who has consistently disclosed a large ownership stake in Pacem Defense and related businesses called ALS and Pacem Solution International, appeared to be violating federal laws and House rules that prohibit members of Congress from contracting with the government. "The OCE found that from January 2023 to present, Pacem Defense/ALS, has been actively contracting with the federal government, securing close to $1,000,000 in federal contracts for munitions and weapons, distributed to prisons across the country," the report said. "Specifically, since January 9, 2024, 94 contracts have been awarded to entities owned by Rep. Mills."
