"Johnson was asked about a judge's recent issuance of a restraining order against Mills, sought by a former girlfriend - Lindsey Langston, the 2024 winner of the Miss United States beauty pageant - who alleged that Mills assaulted her and threatened to release explicit videos of her."
"Johnson replied by referring to Mills as a "faithful colleague" and saying that the House Ethics Committee could look into the matter if it feels an investigation is warranted. When asked a second time about the allegations, Johnson replied, "Let's just talk about some things that are really serious," and called on another reporter."
""There's certainly the evidence there to pursue criminal charges. I would suspect that this isn't the last time you're going to hear about this.""
House Speaker Mike Johnson minimized domestic abuse accusations and a judge-issued restraining order involving Rep. Cory Mills, referring to Mills as a "faithful colleague" and suggesting the House Ethics Committee could pursue an investigation if warranted. The restraining order was sought by Lindsey Langston, Miss United States 2024, who alleged assault and threats to release explicit videos. Johnson declined a second question, saying, "Let's just talk about some things that are really serious." Langston's lawyer indicated criminal charges in Florida remain possible. Mills is also facing an unrelated Ethics Committee probe over campaign finance statements and has opposed gender-affirming care and LGBTQ+-inclusive materials.
