Rep. Nancy Mace filed a House resolution seeking to censure Rep. Cory Mills over allegations involving misconduct and defense contracting. The House voted 310 to 103 to refer the resolution to the Ethics Committee instead of approving it outright.
Mace filed the resolution on Wednesday and said she wanted Mills censured and removed from his assignments on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. The resolution lists allegations involving federal contracts, financial disclosures, his military service, and alleged assaults and threats. The article attributes those claims to the resolution and related reviews, reports and court proceedings.
