and Stop it: Report
Police wanted to arrest a GOP congressman last February over an alleged assault of a woman a new report from the Washington Post revealed Sunday.
According to an in-depth piece written by the Posts Paul Schwartzman and Kadia Goba, D.C. police were about to arrest Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) over the alleged assault before a lieutenant ordered them not to. But the next day, the police did indeed ask then-interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to sign off on an arrest warrant. But Martin denied the request.
The Post reviewed body camera footage and documents for their report. According to the Post, the footage showed Mills saying he wanted to call then-Attorney General Pam Bondi to intervene. Richard Mazloom, the officer on the scene, threatened to arrest Mills as he appeared to reach for his phone.
