Overview
- The Washington Post published body-camera footage and internal files that show a supervisor told officers not to arrest Cory Mills after the woman changed her account following an apparent conversation with him.
- Video captures Officer Richard Mazloom telling the woman that his bosses were treating the call as a “family disturbance” instead of “an actual domestic assault.”
- Investigators had prepared a transport unit to pick up Mills before the plan was canceled, according to dispatch details captured in the footage.
- Police later asked interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to approve an arrest warrant, which he refused.
- The episode is under a House Ethics Committee inquiry, and Mills calls the allegation “patently false.”
