Rep. Cory Mills, R-FL, is getting some unwelcome attention lately. He narrowly avoided censure (on a resolution submitted by Rep. Nancy “Meltdown” Mace, also an R) but is under scrutiny by the Ethics committee for a variety of sins, and there is questioning whether his Bronze Star is legit.<\/p>\n
Mills, now serving his second term, was ordered<\/span> last month by a Florida judge to have no contact with his ex-girlfriend and to not go within 500 feet of her residence or where she works.<\/p>\n
The panel will also examine whether he failed to properly disclose required information on statements required to be filed with the House, violated campaign finance laws regarding his two congressional campaigns, and whether he improperly solicited or received gifts in connection with privately sponsored official travel.<\/p>\n
On the House floor Wednesday, Mace outlined a series of controversies surrounding Mills, saying in her resolution that his behavior \u201cbrings discredit upon the House.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed to allegations that Mills misrepresented aspects of his Army service and the protective order.\u00a0AP News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A bit more on that last is in order, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
Rep. Cory Mills, 45, is a Florida politician, businessman, and Army veteran, currently serving in the 119th Congress. Mills has represented Florida’s 7th congressional district, which includes Seminole and southern Volusia counties, since 2023.<\/p>\n
According to his\u00a0website, he served in the Army with the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command from 1999 through 2003. After serving, he co-founded Pacem Solution International LLC and Pacem Defense LLC, which, according to his website, supported risk management assessments, intelligence collection, and media security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
One sticking point – Pacem sells arms to a variety of foreign governments. Mills is on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. We\u00a0 call that a conflict of interest where I come from.<\/p>\n
It gets a little iffy when Mill’s Bronze Star comes under scrutiny. Some have come forward supporting him, and some Army paperwork does too. But his DD-214 shows no overseas service.\u00a0 Now, we know that DD-214s are hardly infallible – but it gets better.<\/p>\n
\nMills furnished The News-Journal with a Form 638, the recommendation for him to earn the Bronze Star. While it shows that he earned the medal and details why, Johnson and others have questions, including the date the form was signed.<\/p>\n
Army Brig. Cmdr. Arnold N. G. Bray’s signature is on the Form 638. On one line, Bray’s title is listed as brigade commander. On another, it refers to him as” “BG (R),” meaning brigadier general (retired). According to his LinkedIn page and several bios, Bray retired in 2012.<\/p>\n
“Cory was one of my (non-commissioned officers) and I awarded all my squad leaders and above the Bronze Star,” Bray wrote in a text message recently.<\/p>\n
Bray also wrote that Mills’ actions justifying the award are “ordinarily submitted by the observing individuals. To be clear, I am not validating any of the specifics.”<\/p>\n
Former Army soldier Bobby Oller, who served in the 325th from 2002 to 2006, says the bottom of the Form 638 shows that it was created in \u201cApr 2021.”<\/p>\n
”We all know he had to have this document made after 2021,” Oller said.<\/p>\n
Both Oller and Johnson say they have spoken to several members of the 325th and has found no one who recalls Mills.\u00a0\u00a0News-Journal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This is a case where I strongly recommend reading full articles and doing your own research. Me, I am waiting for more info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
