Congressman Cory Mills Demands the Department of Justice Investigate Kamala Harris’ Questionless Press Conference Attacking Republican Presidential Candidate and Former President Donald J. Trump

Washington, D.C. — Last week, Congressman Cory Mills (FL-07) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding that the Department of Justice investigate Kamala Harris’ questionless “press conference” hosted at the official residence of the United States Vice President. As a result, this is a direct use of official authority to affect the upcoming election, potentially breaching the Hatch Act.

“The Hatch Act, which prohibits using official resources to support partisan political campaigns, does not apply to the President and Vice President in civil provisions, however, it does not exempt them from criminal provisions. Presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris’ questionless "press conference" on Wednesday was filled with defamatory accusations aimed at her political opponent. The American people deserve leaders who uphold the integrity of their official office and play by the rules, not those who exploit their official position for electoral advantage,” said Rep. Cory Mills (FL-07). “There must be accountability for her actions, which once again raises the question about her commitment to ethical governance. As we approach this upcoming election, we must demand that Harris not exploit her office for political gain.”
