News: GOP Rep. Cory Mills—who is supposed to get cross-examined in his restraining order case on Friday—just popped up again on an unannounced solo trip to Syria for some reason. He met with the Finance Minister yesterday, per the ministry's Facebook page: facebook.com/almaliaassouri…Image
The chief legal officer of Mills's weapons company was middleman on a recent foreign agent registration for a new Mideast nonprofit called ... The Foundation for the Development of Western Syria Image
On Mills's trip to Syria in April, he pulled a secret solo meeting with the new president — at the time a U.S.-designated terrorist who founded Al Nusra Front. More on that trip here
On this trip, Mills was photographed with Tarek Naemo, who was also part of his April excursion. More on him here
In July Naemo started a nonprofit in Florida called the "American Syrian Chamber of Commerce Inc" with a business partner, the guy who owned the Pulse Nightclub. Cory Mills' campaign also paid the Pulse owner for direct mail services in irregular lump sums search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/Corpor…
It's unclear who paid for Mills' trip this time. Apparently he tried rounding up a group of Reps weeks ago, but no takers. He also seems to have spent a good chunk of time today in a viral twitter fight about his stolen valor issues with Nancy Mace, from halfway around the world
Here's more about Cory Mills and the restraining order case. Again, his cross-examination is scheduled for Friday. He tried to push back the first hearing and failed. dropsitenews.com/p/miss-united-…
One interesting counterpoint, the new Syrian president was not in Syria. Instead, he was at the U.N. apnews.com/article/syria-…

Imagine calling yourself a “congressman” while using your own official government website to promote your own secret charity that you have never disclosed, as required by federal law Image
And imagine calling yourself anyone at all and @ing someone in a tweet who you have blocked
@ING Imagine calling yourself a “congressman” and using the official House insignia on your oversized promotional *personal* checks. Wonder what ethics rules say about that

SCOOP: Rep. Cory Mills is being evicted for failure to pay months of rent at his D.C. penthouse. Owner claims Mills owes $85,000. He was served with notice for failure to pay in January. Ledger shows he paid late nearly every month since moving in, missing several months entirely Image
Image
Image
Image
When Mills was served in January, the owner notified him that he had until Feb 26 to pay. On Feb 20, his girlfriend reported him to the police for assaulting her at that penthouse, which she later recanted apnews.com/article/cory-m…Image
Image
Mills' company has also failed to pay its debts. They got bad news earlier this month, when its lender told investors that the investment fund supporting his company had failed and would be shut down

I think I found the Syrian plane that secretly helped Assad regime leaders escape to Benghazi. I found it because two congressmen—one of them an active global arms dealer & Foreign Affairs Committee member—posed with it on Instagram. The plane is currently under US sanctions. Image
Why’d a weapons maker—rife with conflicts of interest in the region & completely soaked in undisclosed foreign debt—go to Syria with a newly madeover nonprofit advocating for lifting sanctions on a gov we haven’t recognized that’s run by former Al Qaeda & is on our terror list? Image
Image
Image
And why is this same congressional arms dealer doing this while his weapons company’s chief legal counsel—who has close ties with notorious US mercenary Erik Prince—lobbies on behalf of Libyan allies of Assad? Let’s find out!

NEW: In 2014, Mohamed Al-Hanooti—Hamas fundraiser & unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing—was back at Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, as the DC-area mufti, or top Islamic cleric.

That year, he presided over Rep Cory Mills’ marriage in a religious ceremony. 1/X
Here’s the marriage certificate. Fairfax County confirmed to me the info on this document matches their official records. For officiant address, Hanooti, who died in 2015, listed Dar al-Hijrah mosque, where he also previously served as imam. Anwar Al-Awlaki was also a DAH imam. Image
If you want to know what Republicans like to say about this particular mosque, Hanooti, and people who associate with them, google away. Or you can just ask GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, pictured here with Mills and GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson last June. Image

NEW: Rep Cory Mills said on his Bronze Star papers he saved this man's life. Troops in the battle told me it's a lie. Yet here he is months after his star—after taking $2000 from the man's dad. If the claims I have are true, Mills lied about his war heroics. Did he have help? 1/X Image
Image
Image
The Daytona News-Journal investigated Mills' Bronze Star last year. It led to this headline, seemingly confirming it was settled & Mills' claims checked out. But his claims *don't* check out. He got re-elected & currently sits on Armed Services. news-journalonline.com/story/news/loc…Image
The officer who awarded medals for the events—Col. Shannon E. Nielsen—told me Mills wasn't involved, barely recalled him. Statements from troops who lived the events—in a complaint filed with the Ofc of Cong Ethics—say Mills wasn't there. Here's one from a man Mills said he saved Image

Rep. Cory Mills went to Syria with another Congressman. But only Mills met with Syria's foreign minister & president about lifting sanctions. Mills runs an arms company, whose current & longtime general counsel, Joe Schmitz, has been working for the pro-Assad Libyan Parliament Image
Image
Image
Image
Schmitz is working as a subcontractor for the Vogel group, which landed the Libya contract in Oct. 2023, per DOJ foreign agent filings. It seems a great deal of the payments have been going to Schmitz. Image
Image
Image
Schmitz's work for Libyan Parliament includes legislator outreach. Last Feb, they requested a meeting with Cory Mills' own congressional general counsel. Libya has a divided government, and the head of Parliament claimed command of the Libyan army as recently as November. Image
