Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) on Thursday was hit with yet another report alleging reckless behavior, including hiring numerous sex workers.The House Ethics Committee announced Wednesday that it had opened an investigation into Rep. Mills over several issues, according to a new report. The following day, investigative political reporter Roger Sollenberger dropped a report of his own.In a piece on Substack called "Sex Workers & A Secret Charity: The Story Of Cory Mills’s ‘F------ Bananas’ Afghanistan Mission," he reports, "The embattled Florida Republican’s political origin story is shrouded in its own scandal."According to the report, Mills leans into his Afghanistan mission as a sort of "origin story." But there's more of that tale to be told, according to the veteran reporter."But people familiar with the Afghanistan mission say Mills has never told the full story—and that if he did, the public would have a very different image of him. For one thing, three sources said Mills hired sex workers during the Afghanistan operation, on several occasions," he wrote on Thursday. "The revelations come as Mills finds himself increasingly isolated politically, with a battery of scandals—domestic assault allegations, his military record, and most recently a restraining order for cyberstalking and revenge porn—sparking public rebuke from MAGAfied Republican colleagues."Sollenberger goes on to report that the mission itself succeeded despite the lawmaker."While Mills often casts himself as key to the Afghanistan rescue—including in congressional remarks—three people familiar with the effort said the operation’s success was more in spite of Mills’s involvement than because of it," the report states.He continues:"The team planned to land in Afghanistan, but they were re-routed to Tbilisi, Georgia, where they staged the operation from a hotel and waited for the go signal. In Tbilisi, however, Mills set the team on edge with what three people familiar with the events described as reckless and unprofessional personal behavior. This included hiring sex workers with his friend more than once, even after they were told to stop."“It was every night,” one source said, according to the report. Another person purportedly said, “That happened three nights in a row to the point where I said, ‘I’m done, I don’t want to associate with it.'"According to Sollenberger, "I obtained a photo of Mills with one of the sex workers, which a person with knowledge of the events confirmed as authentic."Read the full piece here.
