The Florida Republican has denied wrongdoing.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not sign an arrest warrant for Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) sent by the Metropolitan Police Department Friday over an alleged assault last week, according to multiple news reports.
Mills is being investigated over allegations that he assaulted a 27-year-old woman, who is not his wife, on Feb. 19 at an apartment building in Washington, D.C.
A spokesperson for the police department told Politico and NBC4 Washington Monday that the force sent an arrest warrant for Mills to the U.S. Attorney’s office on Friday, adding that the office never signed the document.
NBC4 Washington said the case was referred back to the department for further investigation, adding that the U.S. Attorney’s office declined to comment, citing its practice of not weighing in on uncharged cases.
The Metropolitan Police Department has now also launched its own internal probe into its handling of the matter, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed Friday.
