House Ethics Committee

The House voted 310–103 to refer Nancy Mace’s privileged censure resolution against Rep. Cory Mills to the House Ethics Committee, a bipartisan move (about 106 Democrats joined 204 Republicans) that preserved his seats on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs panels. The referral came after the Ethics panel opened a wide-ranging investigation into allegations including campaign finance violations, misuse of resources, sexual‑misconduct/domestic‑abuse claims and questions about Mills’s military service; Mills denies the accusations and Mace had accused him of misrepresenting his service and of crimes against women.
