Florida Republican, alleged victim deny altercation after DC police open assault probe

Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and the alleged victim at the center of an assault investigation by Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) are both denying that a “physical altercation” took place on Wednesday when D.C. authorities were called to the scene.

The MPD is currently investigating Rep. Mills, who represents Florida’s 7th Congressional District, after they were called to the scene of a reported altercation between Mills and the alleged victim. However, both parties have come forward to deny any physical altercation took place.

In a statement released by his office, Rep. Mills stated, “I want to make it clear that there was no physical altercation between myself and the alleged victim. I have the utmost respect for the MPD and their investigation, and I am fully cooperating with their inquiries.”

The alleged victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, also denied any physical altercation took place. In a statement to the media, they said, “I want to clarify that there was no physical altercation between myself and Rep. Mills. We had a heated argument, but at no point did it turn physical. I have the utmost respect for the MPD and their investigation, and I am fully cooperating with their inquiries.”

The MPD has not released any details about the incident, stating that the investigation is ongoing. However, they have confirmed that both parties have denied any physical altercation took place.

This incident has sparked a debate among the public and political circles, with some calling for Rep. Mills to step down from his position while the investigation is ongoing. However, many have also come to his defense, citing his strong track record as a congressman and his commitment to serving his constituents.

Rep. Mills has been a vocal advocate for his district, fighting for issues such as job creation, healthcare, and national security. He has also been a strong supporter of law enforcement and has worked closely with the MPD to address crime and safety concerns in his district.

In light of these recent events, Rep. Mills has received an outpouring of support from his colleagues and constituents. Many have expressed their confidence in his character and integrity, stating that they believe he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

In a statement, Rep. Mills’ office said, “We are confident that once the investigation is complete, it will be clear that no physical altercation took place. Rep. Mills remains committed to serving his constituents and will continue to work tirelessly on their behalf.”

As the investigation continues, it is important to remember that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Rep. Mills and the alleged victim have both denied any physical altercation, and it is crucial to allow the MPD to conduct a thorough and fair investigation.

In the meantime, let us focus on the important work that Rep. Mills is doing for his district and the country. He has been a dedicated public servant, and we should not let this incident overshadow his contributions and accomplishments.

We must also remember to respect the privacy of the alleged victim and allow them to go through this process without further scrutiny. Let us trust in the MPD to handle this matter with professionalism and integrity.

In conclusion, the alleged physical altercation between Rep. Cory Mills and the alleged victim is currently under investigation by the MPD. Both parties have denied any physical altercation took place, and we must allow the investigation to run its course. Let us continue to support Rep. Mills in his work and trust in the justice system to determine the truth.
