Rep. Nancy Mace plans to seek a privileged resolution censuring Rep. Cory Mills and removing him from committees, which would require Republican leaders to act within two legislative days. The proposal follows earlier censure disputes and reports of allegations against Mills.
Mace plans to make a resolution to censure Mills and remove him from committees. Sources told Axios, The Hill and Fox News about the plan; Axios reported that the censure would remove Mills from the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. Because the resolution would be privileged, Republican leadership would have to act within two legislative days.
The article recounts earlier censure efforts and allegations involving Mills. A previous censure measure over stolen-valor claims was not passed; soldiers who served with Mills said he was not present when he received a Bronze Star, while Mills' office denied there was a deal to avoid censure. The article also reports that Mills was given a restraining order after a former girlfriend accused him of harassment and threats; Mills denied some accusations, and the woman later recanted her domestic-abuse story.
