On July 21st, 2026, NBC News reported that Republican Florida Congressman Cory Mills was under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Like virtually every federal investigation, this one began with a single suspect before expanding to include others.
A government whistleblower who approached my campaign has confirmed that this investigation has expanded to include U.S. Congressman Byron Donalds, who along with Cory Mills, is under investigation for federal sex trafficking.
Federal prosecutors are looking at two dates in question: May 17th, 2024, and November 19th, 2024, dates when Congressmen Mills and Donalds are said to have traveled to the MGM National Harbor—a luxury hotel resort in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where they solicited, procured, and paid women for explicit sexual acts.
In the coming hours, Byron Donalds will call this investigation a “political attack.” It’s not. The Department of Justice, led by a Trump appointee of the same political party as Byron Donalds, is not investigating him for “political reasons.”
They are investigating him because there is credible evidence that he committed a serious crime.
My campaign was approached by a whistleblower who provided details that only someone with direct knowledge of a federal investigation could know.
In fact, this whistleblower informed us that Cory Mills was under federal investigation before it was publicly reported by NBC News on July 21, 2026, as evidenced by this letter (attached) to the DOJ that was sent on July 20, 2026 that detailed the existence of the investigation into Cory Mills and Byron Donalds.
My legal team has spent weeks attempting to independently verify this investigation, and we have done just that.
For example, text messages (attached) sent from Cory Mills himself to a third party confirm that he and Congressman Byron Donalds were both at the MGM Harbor on both of the dates that are now the focus of federal prosecutors.
Before I came here today, I tried every possible avenue to clear and exonerate Congressman Donalds, including reviewing a letter from a former federal prosecutor who asked the Department of Justice to confirm whether “any component of the Department of Justice is currently investigating or has investigated” Byron Donalds.
And they refused to comment.
They refused to do so despite clearing Florida Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of any criminal conduct in a letter just two weeks ago.
Let me be crystal clear: Our Constitution entitles Congressmen Mills and Donalds to the presumption of innocence. But while they deserve that presumption, voters deserve transparency.
I specifically gave Congressman Donalds the opportunity to make the fact he is under investigation public. But he chose not to.
This is the first and last time I will discuss this publicly. My campaign will not run any television ads or mailers detailing any of this because this is not political. It's about transparency for Florida voters.
@JayDyer I'm pretty sure he worked as a ren fair tomato guy... the jester in the stocks you throw tomatoes at. They just insult you and do crowd work. That's in his wheel house for sure.
@dyecaster@jason_howerton@NickJFuentes Unsaid. I don't think anyone is debating that. Do you think that's a position people hold or just what you think people think? What Church do you think proclaims this?
@jason_howerton@NickJFuentes - Depends on what you mean.
I'd say No, but there's nothing in your question or my response that helps you here.
Better question is why build an entire doctrine from a unique, unrepeatable event? Seems like an unwise thing to do considered the stakes.
@DissidentFrau@JayDyer I see the Dispensationalist losing their mind. Not that they haven't already. The active ones on Twitter are some of the most obnoxious accounts. I feel bad for them tbh.
@JayDyer@AnaniasFather@FrJohnBoddecker You can read in the OT that God forgave sins before the Incarnation. Also, St. John preached repentance for the forgiveness of sins before Christ's Passion. So what exactly are we talking about here?
@LevitskyGregory@ModelskiTomasz We gather plenty of data from what people do & don't do. We're able to gather data from what people say and don't say. Just like we can gather data about you based on your posts on this matter. Have you considered not building whatever odd online brand you're building here?
@JayDyer@T4Peace The Church is full of secret kings. We should all start kneeling to them and give them their long overdue roses. They are so much better than us and more spiritual than us. It's only right that we should start watching their unwatchable videos and read their unreadable articles.
