A Republican committeewoman from Florida alleges Mills threatened to release the images "numerous times" after they broke up, according to a police incident report.

U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, a central Florida Republican, has been accused by a beauty pageant titleholder of threatening to release intimate videos and private images of her after she ended their romantic relationship.

So long as national party operatives view the Florida lawmaker’s seat as safe, there is little incentive for GOP leaders to engage.
