dailyloe.com – Republican Representative Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to expel fellow GOP lawmaker Cory Mills from Congress. She filed the measure on Monday, April 20, 2026. The action cites accusations of sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations. Mills is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
Mace announced her expulsion resolution in a statement Monday evening. She accused the political establishment of protecting Mills for too long. Mace said she is not backing down from the effort. She previously tried to censure Mills and strip his committee assignments.
“The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long,” Mace said. She added that both parties blocked her earlier attempts. Mace offered a resolution to censure Mills in November. The House later voted to refer the matter to the Ethics Committee.
Cory Mills has denied any wrongdoing related to the allegations. His office did not immediately comment on the new expulsion resolution. However, Mills responded on the social media platform X. He told Mace to “call the vote forward” on the matter.
In his X post, Mills also criticized Mace’s approach. “Nancy thinks allegations and accusations is due process,” he wrote. He described a potential expulsion vote as a “Democratic tit for tat.” Mills argued his case differs from other lawmakers facing similar claims.
He specifically mentioned former Representatives Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales. Both resigned last week amid sexual misconduct allegations. Mills noted he is not married and denies harassment. Speaker Mike Johnson commented on the internal Republican conflict.
Johnson told reporters he does not encourage members expelling each other. “We have a process here,” the Speaker said Monday night. He emphasized the House Ethics Committee ensures due process. Johnson stated he is not in favor of Mace’s resolution.
Mace did not indicate if she will force a quick expulsion vote. She could use a procedural tool to expedite floor action. Meanwhile, Mace is also under investigation by the Ethics Committee. A complaint alleges she overcharged Congress for housing costs.
Her office last month said she is “not taking seriously” that complaint. The statement was provided to Politico. The situation highlights ongoing ethics probes within the Republican conference. The House will determine the next steps for both resolutions.
