Ethics says they are investigating Mills for failure to properly disclose information, violation of campaign finance laws, improperly soliciting or receiving gifts, receiving special favors and allegations of sexual misconduct. In October, a Florida judge granted a protective order against Mills after a former girlfriend accused him of threatening to release sexually explicit photos and videos of her. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) brushed off questions at the time about the order, but told reporters that Ethics would investigate Mills, "if it warrants that."
