Speaker Johnson suggests Ethics Committee will take look at Cory Mills over restraining order

A judge barred Rep. Cory Mills from contacting Lindsey Langston after she accused him of threatening to release explicit videos and causing emotional distress, effective until 2026.

  • On Tuesday a judge approved a restraining order barring Florida Republican congressman Cory Mills from contacting Lindsey Langston or coming within 500 feet until Jan. 1, 2026.
  • Alleging threats and blackmail, Lindsey Langston alleged Cory Mills threatened to release nude images and harm future partners after their breakup earlier this year, and Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. found Mills' testimony untruthful.
  • After filing a July police report, Lindsey Langston submitted an August injunction petition and said `The messages progressively got more threatening over time` from Cory Mills on Instagram.
  • On Oct. 15, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the House Ethics Committee may review Mills after calling him a 'faithful colleague' and stating `I have not heard or looked into any of the details of that. I've been a little busy`.
  • The episode has prompted calls for Mills to resign or be expelled, with Democratic challengers urging action while Republicans like Anthony Sabatini seek censure amid Florida GOP silence.
