What they're saying:

FOX 35 reached out to the attorney's office representing Langston on Wednesday, who said she declined to comment on the reports.

Mills, through a spokesperson, released the following statement to FOX 35 on Wednesday:

"Anthony Sabatini is weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack against the man who beat him in the primary, using his corporate legal office to push a narrative built on lies and flawed legal arguments - all to score political headlines. We have not been made aware of any report or allegations from law enforcement or the alleged complainant," Mills said in a written statement.

"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. 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. I remain focused on serving my constituents and advancing America First policies."
