Rep. Nancy Mace pressed for a House resolution to censure Rep. Cory Mills and remove him from two committees as the Ethics Committee announced an investigation into allegations against him. The House voted 310–103 to refer Mace’s resolution to the committee.
The House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into allegations involving Mills, including possible campaign-finance and disclosure violations, gifts tied to official travel, and his conduct toward women. The committee said that creating an investigative panel does not itself indicate wrongdoing.
Mace’s resolution seeks to censure Mills and remove him from the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. The House approved Mills’ request to refer it to the Ethics Committee, 310–103. Mace said the investigation announcement was a “naked attempt to kill my resolution.” Mills denied wrongdoing and said he expected the accusations to be disproven; his chief of staff said he earned the Bronze Star and had documentation.

14 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Nancy Mace pursued a House resolution to censure fellow Republican Cory Mills and remove him from committee assignments, citing allegations against him. The House later referred the resolution to the Ethics Committee rather than immediately removing him. Left-leaning outlets present the move as Mace’s effort to secure Mills’s committee removal. Center outlets mostly emphasize the resolution’s path and related Ethics Committee action, while also reporting Mills’s denials. Right-leaning outlets place the bid amid Republican infighting and, in some accounts, foreground Mace’s allegation of a deal to protect Mills.
