MAGA congressman's Republican ex-girlfriend wants him expelled after restraining order

An attorney for Lindsey Langston, the former girlfriend of Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), called for the lawmaker to be expelled from Congress after he was hit with a restraining order under Florida's "dating violence" law.

At a press conference on Wednesday, attorney Bobi Frank said her client hoped Mills would be removed from Congress.

"I hope to see both parties come together and excuse Mr. Mills from public office," Frank remarked. "This is not a Republican or a Democrat issue."

"Quite frankly, I think Mr. Mills needs to stop aligning himself and each of his public statements with our president, President Trump, and trying to persuade the masses that this is just a political hit campaign on him," she added. "It's clear as day that Cory Mills is synonymous with unethical behavior. This is not an isolated incident."

Langston, the current Miss United States and a Republican committeewoman, expressed relief at the press conference.

"I can't even describe the relief that I felt once I got the phone call that I had been issued the injunction for protection," she said. "I feel like I'm able to live my life again."

Langston said she had feared Mills would release videos of the two having sex to tarnish her reputation. Mills argued that the videos had been destroyed. In granting the restraining order on Tuesday, Circuit Court Judge Fred Koberlein noted that he did "not find [Mills's] testimony concerning the intimate videos to be truthful."

Koberlein found that Mills' campaign of harassment against Langston included inducing one of his congressional staffers to contact her. Mills also caused another one of his girlfriends to contact Langston, the judge said.

According to the restraining order, Mills admitted to Langston for the first time under oath in a court hearing that he had still been married during their relationship.

During their breakup, Langston became involved with someone she met at Mar-a-Lago, Mills claimed to the court.

At a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was told by a reporter that Mills was accused of "beating a girlfriend."

"I mean, he's been a faithful colleague here," Johnson replied. "You have to ask him about that. Let's talk about the things that are really serious."
