Attorneys representing a woman who obtained a restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) have indicated that she seeks his ousting from public office and hinted at potential criminal charges in the future.
Bobbi J. Frank is advocating for Lindsey Langston, the ex-girlfriend of Mills and a member of the Florida Republican state committee who was named Miss United States in 2024. A Florida judge granted Langston’s request for an injunction aimed at protecting her from Mills’ alleged harassment.
“We hope both parties can join forces to remove Mr. Mills from office. This isn’t just a party issue,” Frank stated during a Wednesday press conference at his law firm, alongside Langston’s aides.
Frank further expressed, “Honestly, I believe Mr. Mills should align his public statements with President Trump and stop portraying this as merely a political attack on him. It’s becoming evident that Cory Mills is linked to unethical actions. This isn’t some isolated event.” He also noted that Mills was wearing a Congressional pin during the court proceedings.
“I can’t comprehend how this behavior can be deemed acceptable in today’s political climate. I doubt the national, state, and local Republican Parties would support actions like this,” she added.
Despite the allegations, House Republican leaders have not expressed interest in taking action against Mills.
During a Wednesday press conference addressing the ongoing government shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, referred to Mills as a “loyal colleague,” stating he hadn’t examined the specifics of the situation and suggested that the House Ethics Committee may review the matter later.
Langston has accused Mills of threatening to leak intimate videos of her and making threats against other men she might date. Mills contended that the video in question wasn’t intimate, but the court found the testimony regarding it to be irrelevant to the restraining order decision.
Their breakup reportedly followed news coverage in February 2025 about a police investigation into a dispute involving Mills and another girlfriend in Washington, D.C. While Mills and the alleged victim denied a physical confrontation took place, the police forwarded their report to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, though no charges were filed.
When asked about potential criminal charges for Mills in Florida, Frank stated, “There’s definitely evidence to pursue charges. I don’t think this is the last we’ll hear of it.”
As part of her efforts, Langston was interviewed by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office regarding her claims of harassment by Mills, and that incident report was issued earlier this year. The sheriff’s office has since sent the report to state authorities, who acknowledged its receipt but refrained from commenting on any ongoing investigations.
Anthony Sabatini, who previously ran against Mills in the 2022 congressional primary and has worked informally with Langston, noted that she was present during her FDLE interview.
Mills is currently under investigation. He has been charged by the House Ethics Committee regarding issues unrelated to his campaign finance documents.
Frank mentioned that he hasn’t heard from the Ethics Commission but is open to collaborating with Langston.
Two Democratic congressmen, Reps. Yvette Clark (New York) and Greg Cassar (Texas), had attempted to introduce a censure resolution against Mills, which was a reaction to Republican-led censure actions against others. However, they ceased their efforts once the related accusations failed.
Mills voted against a measure aimed at reprimanding Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minnesota), asserting that his vote was not influenced by any threats of retaliation.
The restraining order prohibits Mills from contacting Langston or coming within 500 feet of her home or workplace until January 1st.
Langston expressed relief upon receiving news of the order’s approval, stating, “I truly feel that justice has been served. I can’t describe the relief I felt when I learned the restraining order was granted. It feels like I can live my life again, and I hope this sends a strong message to victims of violence, intimidation, and coercion.”
She emphasized, “This isn’t just a gender or party issue. It can happen to anyone. If you’re a victim, please come forward. Stay strong, be honest, and trust the justice system to protect you. Know your rights and be brave.”
Regarding the potential for extending the restraining order beyond January 1st, Frank said, “If Mr. Mills takes any actions that resemble harassment, intimidation, or threats, we will respond promptly and decisively.”
