“Strap Up, Cowboy:” Will Donald Trump Oust Cory Mills?

Donald Trump, who was charged for obstructing the certification of Joe Biden’s vote on January 6, 2021 and who pardoned 1,500 of his fellow Jan6ers — hundreds of whom assaulted cops — on his first day on the job, will hold a press conference today to announce he will put criminals in DC in jail where they belong. “The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong. It’s all going to happen very fast.”

Trump also promises to evict the unhoused — people like Taylor Taranto, who was living out of his van when he took the address for Barack Obama that Trump posted on Truth Social and started stalking Obama’s Kalorama neighborhood. Trump pardoned Taranto’s January 6 trespassing charges, but not the weapons charges tied to Obama.

Trump must, then, be promising to oust Cory Mills.

Back in February, police responded to a call at Congressman Mills’ home and found (one of) Mills’ girlfriends with “visible injuries.”

The first police report, provided to News4 by a source and confirmed by a second source familiar with the investigation, said: “(Her significant other for over a year) grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door.” The report says she showed the officer “bruises on her arm which appeared fresh.”

The first report goes on to note that during a phone call between the significant other and alleged victim, she “let officers hear Subject 1 [now identified by MPD as Mills] instruct her to lie about the origin of her bruises … Eventually, Subject 1 made contact with police and admitted that the situation escalated from verbal to physical, but it was severe enough to create bruising.”

When police arrived, the woman was in the lobby of the Salamander hotel next door. The report says an officer was “able to immediately identify [the alleged victim] out of all other patrons in the lobby by her demeanor: physically shaking and scared.”

According to the report, the responding police officer told the subject he would be placed under arrest. But then the woman approached police and recanted the details, including where the bruises came from. News4 reached out to the responding officer but has not heard back.

After the girlfriend, Sarah Raviani, backed off the allegations, the US Attorney’s Office — then led by Eagle Ed Martin– refused to sign an arrest warrant.

A spokesperson for MPD said Monday the department sent the U.S. Attorney’s office a warrant for Mills’ arrest, but that warrant was never signed.

When asked about it, Eagle Ed — who was made head of DOJ’s weaponization after Republicans refused to confirm him as US Attorney, has espoused a “name” and “shame” approach for Trump’s political enemies who cannot be charged — declined to comment, stating, “it is improper to discuss cases before criminal charges are filed.”

Cory Mills denies the assault allegations in DC.

The assault allegations in DC led another of his then-girlfriends, Lindsey Langston, to break up with Mills. In a complaint filed in Florida, she alleges that Mills has threatened to release revenge porn against her.

Mills continued to harass Langston for months, she reported to police last month, despite repeated requests to be left alone. As part of a police report she made on July 14, 2025, she provided local and state investigators with timestamped digital evidence to support her allegations, which she also shared with Drop Site.

“The threats from Cory intensified over time,” she told Drop Site. “From emotional manipulation, to physical violence against whoever I date in the future, to threats of having me stripped of the Miss United States crown… something I worked extremely hard for and a dream that was placed in my heart long before I even knew who Cory Mills was.”

The evidence covers months of interactions and includes text messages in which Mills—who says he separated from his wife in 2022—warned Langston he posed a threat to anyone she wanted to date in the future (“Strap up, cowboy,” he said in one text) and threatened to release private images shared in the context of their relationship. Langston submitted the evidence to back up an incident report she filed with the Columbia County sheriff’s office last month.

“Since February 20th of 2025 Cory has contacted Lindsey numerous times on numerous different accounts threatening to release nude images and videos of her, to include recorded videos of her and Cory engaging in sexual acts,” the police report says.

Drop Site sent a detailed comment request to Mills, who said the accusations were untrue. Before he replied to Drop Site, Mills called Langston from Raviani’s number, then sent several text messages asking her to take back her allegations, saying, “Only you can stop this,” and “I understand you [sic] mom is going through a lot of mental health issues.”

Trump mostly is making today’s announcement because Ed “Big Balls” Coristine was assaulted recently after some teenagers attempted to steal his girlfriend’s car.

DC’s Metropolitan Police did arrest two of Big Balls’ alleged assailants.

But if Trump wants to pretend to care about crime in DC — the kind of crime he has personally stoked — then surely he’ll at least oust Cory Mills?
