DOJ investigating Rep. Cory Mills: Sources

(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department is investigating embattled Republican Florida Rep. Cory Mills, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

The investigation is in part about his finances, according to sources. Mills’ office did not respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

MS NOW first reported the investigation.

Further details about the investigation were not immediately clear.

Mills was elected to the House to represent Florida’s 7th District in 2022 and reelected in 2024. He serves on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees.

Last November, the House Ethics Committee voted to establish an investigative subcommittee to examine allegations that Mills violated campaign finance laws and engaged in sexual misconduct and dating violence.

Regarding allegations of sexual misconduct, Mills issued a statement last year, before the ethics committee probe was lauched, stating in part: “These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions,” and he accused a former Florida primary opponent of “weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack against the man who beat him.”

Woman anonymously hides cash envelopes to spark kindness

Click here for updates on this story    NICHOLASVILLE, Kentucky (WLEX) -- A Nicholasville woman who asked to remain anonymous is hiding envelopes of cash in public places around the city, hoping each one sparks a chain reaction of kindness.She said the effort grew out of a period of personal hardship and prayer."I've been praying for a blessing, you know. Life has been difficult for us over the past few years for many reasons and I just, I pray all the time regardless, but I have been praying for God to show us blessings in many ways," she said.She went to the bank, withdrew cash, bought a stack of cards and left the first one inside a Kroger."So on the first card, I actually put that the only thing I wanted that person to do was to also be kind to somebody else," she said.The woman who found that card later commented on her Facebook page."I wanted it to go to someone who truly needed it and she was a mother that had been dealing with health issues and she had been praying because she didn't know how she was gonna pay her bills for the month," she said.The effort spread to her daughter, who also hid a card with money. The couple who found that envelope was expecting a baby and had been trying to afford a specific car seat."The car seat that they wanted, they were a little short on and so they were back there looking and they saw this envelope and they found the $40. The difference between the car seat that they returned and the car seat they needed was $40," she said.She said she never intended for any of this to become public."You know, I was raised in church and coming from that type of a background, anytime you help someone, you don't wanna brag about it. And I didn't do this to get public recognition. I didn't want a pat on the back," she said.She plans to keep leaving the surprise envelopes around Nicholasville."I hope that this not only helps someone. I hope it creates a ripple effect," she said.Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
