Donald Trump says he told Florida congressman Cory Mills to drop out of the race after Mills loses a primary. The claim comes in the context of an ethics investigation involving allegations that Mills engaged in sexual misconduct or dating violence.

Reporting focuses on the timing and circumstances around Mills’s defeat and the investigation into his conduct. Both outlets describe the primary result and link Trump’s comments to the dispute, but they do not provide additional confirmed details about what Trump said beyond the assertion itself.

The accounts differ mainly in emphasis rather than in core facts: they both attribute the remarks to Trump and connect them to Mills’s primary loss and ethics scrutiny. Neither outlet’s summary indicates that the investigation has concluded or that the underlying allegations have been formally resolved. Trump’s statement, according to these reports, is presented as his explanation for events following the primary outcome.
