Sarah Raviani wanted it on the record that Representative Cory Mills bruised her face and arms.
She called 911 at 1:15 AM. The responding officer’s body camera recorded her bruises and her statement. Trump’s acting U.S. Attorney refused to sign the arrest warrant a year ago. Because Raviani made sure the record existed, the Washington Post obtained that body camera footage and broke the story tonight.
She’s not the only one to accuse Mills. A different woman won a Florida protective order against him later that year, alleging he threatened to release explicit images of her and harm her future boyfriends. Mills still holds his House seat. Call your representative through 5 Calls and Resistbot and demand his expulsion.
