Overview
- The House Ethics Committee, which disclosed Monday an escalation in its probe, said it has issued more than 20 subpoenas, contacted dozens of witnesses, and reviewed thousands of records.
- The inquiry includes a February 2025 police response in Washington, where prosecutors filed no charges, and the committee said a no‑charge decision does not amount to innocence.
- Investigators are also examining an October 2025 court order that limits Mills’s social media use and contact related to a woman identified in coverage as Lindsey Langston.
- Langston has a civil suit alleging Mills tried to use her explicit videos to blackmail her, while Mills denies wrongdoing and has not resigned.
- Rep. Nancy Mace has moved to expel Mills, and recent ethics cases that prompted three other lawmakers to quit highlight rising pressure on House members facing misconduct claims.
