Rep. Cory Mills(R-FL) avoided an arrest for an alleged assault after one of President Donald Trump’s staunch allies in the Department of Justice intervened, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reported on Saturday that Washington, D.C. police sought to arrest Mills after a woman accused him of assaulting her last year. However, body camera footage and documents obtained by the outlet show that officers did not arrest Mills, who has been a close ally of Trump’s in Congress, after D.C. prosecutor Ed Martin refused to sign the warrant.
In turn, the senior officer on-scene classified the incident as a “family disturbance,” which the officer who sought to arrest Mills “disagreed with,” the report added.
“The alleged assault is also the focal point of a House Ethics Committee investigation against the lawmaker, according to the report.
“Unfortunately, I have bosses that are making this into a family disturbance — a domestic disturbance — instead of an actual domestic assault,” Richard Mazloom, the officer who wanted to arrest Mills, told the alleged victim, as reported by the Post.
Mills has denied the allegations against him, calling them “patently false.”
