Cory Mills, R-Fla., is forcefully denying reports that he is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department, claiming the allegations are part of a politically-motivated effort to damage his reelection campaign weeks before Florida's Republican primary.

"If you also read the rest of the reports, it never says that the DOJ or the FBI has ever said there's an investigation," Mills told Fox News Digital.

A source familiar told Fox News that the DOJ is investigating Mills, but did not specify exactly what he is being investigated for.

ABC News later reported, citing additional sources, that the investigation is tied at least in part to Mills' finances.

Attributed claims Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.
Attributed framing cues Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.
