Washington, D.C. police “were about to arrest Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) after a woman accused him of assault last year, but a lieutenant ordered them not to when she changed her account after appearing to talk to the congressman,” the Washington Post reports.

“The next day, police reversed course, asking then-interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, an appointee of President Donald Trump, to sign off on a warrant to arrest Mills, a request the prosecutor denied.”
