On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported that incumbent Rep. Cory Mills lost in the GOP primary for Florida’s US House 7 to Ryan Elijah.
The Justice Department is currently investigating GOP Rep. Cory Mills, according to ABC News, The Washington Examiner, and MS NOW.
The federal probe is in part over Mills’ finances, ABC News said, citing sources.
“The Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., according to two sources familiar with the matter, adding to the mounting legal and ethical scrutiny facing the embattled congressman,” MS NOW reported.
“The sources didn’t disclose the focus of the DOJ investigation. But a third source told MS NOW at least one person was contacted by the FBI last year about Mills’ finances, allegations of misconduct and individuals in his orbit,” MS NOW reported.
Following Mills’ loss, President Trump weighed in on Truth Social, saying he told Mills to drop out but that he “wouldn’t listen.”
“I told Congressman Cory Mills of Florida, a friend of mine, to get out of the Race, but he wouldn’t listen.”
“He thought he could win, so who can blame him?”
“We now have a great candidate, Ryan Elijah, running in his place! Ryan stands for EVERYTHING MAGA, and is respected by ALL.”
“He has my Complete and Total Endorsement! President DONALD J. TRUMP ”
Earlier this year, GOP Rep. Nancy Mace filed to expel Mills.
Mace also weighed in on the loss noting, “Cory Mills is DEVASTATED. I explain why our own party told him to get rekt and threw him out.”
“Thank you Florida!”
