Following President Joe Biden’s chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, a group of individuals sought to make an unannounced trip to the Taliban-run country to extract Americans who were stranded inside. One of those people involved in the unofficial mission was Rep. Cory Mills, an Army veteran and a then-congressional candidate.
En route to Afghanistan, Mills and the rest of the group he was with stopped in Tbilisi, Georgia. One night while awaiting to continue their rescue mission, Mills was caught with sex workers, a source with direct knowledge of the incident and two sources briefed on the matter told NOTUS. All three sources were granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive nature of the mission and to avoid retribution from Mills.
When the other members of the group saw Mills in the hallway with the sex workers, they were furious. Their mission was already sensitive, given the state of the country they were trying to enter. The group decided to part ways with Mills, the sources said, and Mills appeared to go to Afghanistan separately.
