Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Mike Johnson, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, called Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., a "faithful colleague" on Wednesday, one day after he was issued a restraining order.
A Florida judge issued the protective order Tuesday against Mills, directing him to have no contact with a former girlfriend who accused him of threatening her.
"I have not heard or looked into any of the details of that. I've been a little busy," Johnson told reporters in the Capitol. "We have a House Ethics Committee. If it warrants that, I'm sure they'll look into that."
The petitioner was Lindsey Langston, a Republican state committeeperson and Miss United States 2024. She alleged that Mills threatened her on Instagram after blocking him and telling him she didn't want further contact. "The messages progressively got more threatening over time," she wrote.
