Published October 15, 2025 12:55pm ET



House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) dismissed reporters’ questions on Wednesday about the sextortion allegations made against Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), who was hit with a restraining order the day before.

“I have not heard or looked into any of the details of that,” Johnson said during a press conference on Capitol Hill, adding he’s not aware of the specific details in Mills’s case. “I’ve been a little busy. We have a House Ethics Committee. If it warrants that, I’m sure they’ll look into that.”
