Beauty Queen Accuses MAGA Congressman Ex of Threatening to Leak Her Nude Videos
Lindsey Langston filed a police report in July against Rep. Cory Mills, alleging he continued to contact her after their three-year relationship ended and warned he would go after her future boyfriends, Blaze Media and Drop Site News first reported.
Langston, who is also a Florida Republican state committee member, filed her complaint against the GOP lawmaker with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office and included screenshots of messages from Mills to back up her claims. The report was sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for review.
'Since February 20th of 2025 Cory has contacted Lindsey numerous times on numerous different accounts threatening to release nude images and videos of her, to include recorded videos of her and Cory engaging in sexual acts,' the police report said, via Drop Site News.
A spokesperson for Mills told the Daily Beast the allegations are 'just another sorry attempt to smear Mills as he continues to be a champion for the people.'
'Just like Trump was constantly barraged with baseless accusations, patriots like Mills will continually be hit,' the spokesperson added.
Langston and Mills started dating in November 2021 while the congressman was separated from his wife, and the pair moved in together last year. Langston said she broke up with Mills in February 2025 after reading reports that police were called to Mills' Washington, D.C., apartment to investigate an alleged assault against another woman he was dating.
Sarah Raviani later retracted her allegations against Mills, and he was never charged.
Langston, who was crowned Miss United States in Memphis last October while representing her home state as Miss Florida, said Mills began his harassment campaign after they broke up, including allegedly threatening to release revenge porn.
'The threats from Cory intensified over time,' Langston told Drop Site. 'From emotional manipulation, to physical violence against whoever I date in the future, to threats of having me stripped of the Miss United States crown… something I worked extremely hard for and a dream that was placed in my heart long before I even knew who Cory Mills was.'
Messages included in the police report, seen by Blaze Media, allegedly include Mills telling Langston, 'You want to date or be with someone else. Be my guest. But they need to know well in advance that if we cross paths, I don't care this week, this month, or this decade. They better damn well know it's coming every time.'
In another message, he allegedly warned, 'I can send him a few videos of you as well,' and 'Oh, I still have them.'
Mills is accused of sending that message on May 19, the same day that President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act—which Mills supported in the House, and which makes it an offense to release any nonconsensual intimate imagery or revenge porn for 'intimidation, coercion, extortion, or to create mental distress.'
In a statement to the Daily Beast, Mills denied the allegations and said he was unaware of any police report being filed against him.
'These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions. I have always conducted myself with integrity, both personally and in service to Florida's 7th District,' Mills said.
'Out of respect for the legal process, I won't comment further at this time. My team and I will fully cooperate to ensure the truth is made clear.'
Langston's attorney, Anthony Sabatini, who ran against Mills in the GOP congressional primary in 2022, said his client has filed a restraining order against Mills.
Mills also claimed to the Daily Beast that Sabatini is 'weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack' against him and of 'using his corporate legal office to push a narrative built on lies and flawed legal arguments—all to score political headlines.'
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott immediately calls second special session for redistricting
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott immediately called another special session to pass a new congressional map, after the first attempt failed due to Texas Democrats leaving the state to deny Republicans the ability to carve out additional GOP seats. The second special will begin just two hours after the first special wrapped, at noon central time on Friday. Texas Democrats left the state nearly two weeks ago in protest of the redraw, which GOP leaders are pursuing at the request of President Donald Trump. Abbott's proclamation was largely the same as the first one, which lays out 19 agenda items, including redistricting and disaster relief for Central Texas flood victims. 'Delinquent House Democrats ran away from their responsibility to pass crucial legislation to benefit the lives of Texans," the Republican governor said in a statement. 'We will not back down from this fight. That's why I am calling them back today to finish the job.' Most Texas Democrats on the lam are stationed in Illinois but the stalemate appears to be winding down, with the House Democratic Caucus setting conditions for their return.

Trump approval rating slips to 38 percent: Poll
A new Pew Research Center polls finds just 38 percent of respondents approve of President Trump's job performance compared to 41 percent two months ago. The worsening performance appears to be linked to disapproval of Trump's tariff policies, and to some opposition to the 'Big Beautiful Bill' signed into law earlier this summer that extended Trump's first-term tax cuts, expanded those cuts, and also cut Medicaid. Sixty-one percent of the 3,554 adults who were surveyed disapprove of Trump's tariff policies as prices rise on regular goods. The tax and spending law results are more mitigated: 46 percent disapprove of the legislation, 32 percent approve and 23 percent say they are unsure. On key issues, voters still have some confidence in Trump. Forty-seven percent say they are 'somewhat confident' in Trump's ability to negotiate trade deals. On immigration, Trump also received a 46 percent confidence vote. The administration's handling of files related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein are an issue for the GOP and Trump. Seven in ten respondents agreed the case was mishandled. Among Republicans, 53 percent disapprove of the handling of the Epstein files, with 44 percent approving. Overall, 63 percent of respondents say they do not trust what the federal government is saying about the Epstein files Other questions also shed some light on Trump's overall performance. Fifty-three percent said Trump is making the federal government worse, while only 27 percent say he is making it better. Democrats disapprove of Trump overwhelmingly more than Republicans, but both political parties are showing less satisfaction. Fifty-five percent of Republicans said Trump was making the government better, and 16 percent said he was making it worse. After the inauguration, 76 percent of Republicans believed that Trump would make the government better in the future. With Democrats, 78 percent said Trump was making the government worse after the inauguration; now that number is up to 87 percent. Since he took office, the President has gone down 9 percent in his overall approval ratings, per Pew's numbers. In February, 95 percent of Trump voters approved of his job performance, while today it stands at 85 percent. Among non-voters, Trump lost 13 percent of support.

Trump's Orwellian revisionist history rewrites America's reality
On Aug. 4, the National Park Service announced that it will restore and reinstall the statue of Confederate Gen. Albert Pike in Washington. This decision is yet another round in the ongoing fight over the American past. Trump and his supporters want to substitute a comprehensive U.S. history with a purely celebratory one. For the MAGA movement, 'make America great again' means proclaiming that America always was great and expunging from the historical record any fact, event or idea that tarnishes the image of a glorious civilization stretching from 'sea to shining sea.' Authoritarian regimes have always understood the importance of history and tried to control it. 'For Russians, the past is certain; it's the future that is unpredictable,' a Soviet proverb maintains. The adage refers to the practice of subordinating history to an ideology with a vision of a utopian future but no clear path to get there. In his dystopian novel, ' 1984,' inspired both by the Spanish Civil War and Stalinism, George Orwell developed the concept further. 'Who controls the past controls the future,' he wrote. 'Who controls the present controls the past.' When his imaginary state Oceania made peace with Eurasia and went to war with East Asia, its historians and propagandists quickly rewrote their narratives to proclaim that the new enemy had always been the enemy. The MAGA assault on historical truth began in 2019, when a group of scholars led by Nicole Hannah-Jones published the ' 1619 Project.' Trump and his followers interpreted the project's call for a more inclusive historical narrative that acknowledged the evils of slavery and the continuing problem of systemic racism as an existential threat to their cherished vision of American exceptionalism. The president responded by creating the ' 1776 Advisory Commission, ' with a mandate to rebut the '1619 Project' and promote civics education 'to encourage citizens to embrace and cultivate love of country.' The commission's report celebrates the U.S. as the 'most just and glorious country in all of human history.' When Trump left office in 2021, 35 states took up the cause of promoting a celebratory version of U.S. history, passing 'gag laws' that limited public school teachers' ability to discuss slavery, Jim Crow and systemic racism as well as gay and transgender issues. Trump returned to office in January determined to promulgate his preferred version of history with a vengeance. On March 27, he issued an executive order with the provocative title, 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.' It declared the administration's policy 'to restore Federal sites dedicated to history, including parks and museums,' and 'solemn and uplifting public monuments.' Its stated goal is 'to remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity and human flourishing.' The president vowed 'to restore the Smithsonian Institution to its rightful place as a symbol of inspiration and American greatness.' The order prohibits the Smithsonian's museums from spending money on 'exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race' and demands that the American Women's History Museum 'not recognize men as women in any respect.' On Aug. 12, the White House sent a letter notifying the Smithsonian Institute that it would be reviewing 'selected Smithsonian museums and exhibitions' to insure they 'align with the president's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism.' The push for a celebratory version of American History did not stop with the Smithsonian. The order also required the secretary of the Interior to ensure that public monuments, statues, makers and memorials 'do not contain descriptions, depictions or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times).' The monuments should 'instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people or, with respect to natural features, the beauty, abundance and grandeur of the American landscape.' In compliance with the order, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum instructed staff under his jurisdiction to post notices instructing visitors to report 'any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other natural features.' At the president's direction, the Pentagon has restored the names of seven military bases originally named for Confederate generals. The Department of Defense made the change using a clever workaround. For example, Ft. Benning, Georgia, originally named for Confederate Brigadier Gen. Henry L. Benning, is now named for Corporal Fred C. Benning, who won the Distinguished Service Cross in WWI. Statues and other Confederate symbols have been at the center of the debate over the American past since the 2015 massacre of parishioners at the African American Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina by white supremacist Dylan Roof. Amid a storm of protest, the South Carolina legislature voted to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from the state house dome, where it had been raised in 1961 to protest the civil rights movement. The debate intensified with the murder of George Floyd and the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement. It came to a head in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017, when white supremacists protesting the city council's decision to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee clashed with counterprotestors, killing one of them. The confrontation reveals why history matters. To liberate themselves from oppression, marginalized people must reclaim their past from the oppressors who seek to hide it. Most Confederate monuments were erected after 1890 — not to memorialize lives lost during the Civil War, but to assert white power in the Jim Crow era. American history should not be celebratory nor iconoclastic, but inclusive. We can recognize the accomplishments of founders of the republic and still acknowledge that they lived off the proceeds of human bondage. Those two truths are not mutually exclusive. Both are part of the American story and should be included in the history we teach our children.
