A spokesperson for Mills, a highly decorated former Army combat veteran and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence, released a statement to Fox News Digital stating that the Congressman denies any wrongdoing.
“This week, law enforcement was asked to resolve a private matter at Congressman Mills’ residence,” the spokesperson said. “Congressman Mills vehemently denies any wrongdoing whatsoever, and is confident any investigation will clear this matter quickly.”

MPD said that once its leadership became aware of the matter, there was an immediate review of its initial response to ensure all procedures were followed. MPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau is currently investigating this matter, the department said.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was asked about the incident at a press briefing on Friday and said she is aware of the report.
“I can confirm that there is an internal investigation on making sure that all of our members did what they were supposed to do, according to MPD policy, so I can confirm that,” Bowser said. “But I can’t speak to anything about the police report.”
On Friday, Sarah Raviani, the woman named in the police report, told Fox News Digital there had been no physical altercation and the situation had been exploited for political purposes.
“Wednesday, I reached out to law enforcement to address a personal matter,” she told Fox News Digital. “Several factors influenced my decision to involve the authorities. I had just returned from a 14-hour flight, severely jet-lagged and sleep-deprived. Additionally, I had been drinking during my vacation and had a drink in front of me when the officers arrived, which contributed to my emotional state. Upon their arrival, they noticed some bruising and marks on my arms, which I explained were the result of medical conditions like eczema and activities from my recent trip to Dubai. While the personal matter in question was emotionally charged, there was no physical altercation. Regrettably, the situation has since been misrepresented by reporters and led to relentless harassment from various sources. Words have been taken out of context, and my privacy is being disregarded. This is a deeply personal matter that is being unfairly exploited for political purposes or other motives.”
