Nancy Mace Files Expulsion Resolution Against GOP Rep. Cory Mills Over Misconduct Allegations

Rep. Nancy Mace filed an expulsion resolution against GOP Rep. Cory Mills over misconduct allegations, setting up a rare House vote this week.

Mace's resolution cites accusations including sexual misconduct and notes that Mills is under a House Ethics Committee probe for "sexual misconduct and/or dating violence" and alleged campaign finance violations. Washington, D.C., police body camera footage was reported to show officers prepared to arrest Mills on an assault accusation before a superior ordered them not to after the woman changed her account.

The move follows reports that Mills planned a retaliatory expulsion resolution against Mace, prompting her to publicly accuse him of lying about his military service and of violence against women. Mace also alleged Mills had a restraining order and enriched himself through federal contracts while in Congress, claims that intensified public scrutiny on social media. Republican Rep. Byron Donalds called the allegations "very troubling" and said Mills must do the hard work to clear his name if possible, reflecting GOP unease. MS NOW framed the dueling expulsion efforts and allegations as evidence of a fracturing House GOP caucus in an "unusually awful term."

Early mainstream coverage, including Fox News, focused on the procedural rarity and the scheduling of a House vote. Later reporting, notably from MS NOW and local reporting cited there, added detailed misconduct allegations, an Ethics Committee probe and body camera details that shifted the story toward scandal and internal GOP conflict. That evolution matters because it reframes the development from a rare procedural action to a broader test of party discipline and accountability.
