D.C. police are seeking an arrest warrant for Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) over assault allegations made by a 27-year-old woman.
The woman initially claimed Mills injured her last Wednesday, but later recanted her statement.
Police sent an arrest warrant to the U.S. attorney's office, but it has not been signed.
The case was returned to police for further investigation.
Sources indicate this type of back-and-forth between police and prosecutors is common and may not result in charges.
According to reports, the woman told police she had been in a long-term romantic relationship with Mills, who is married with children.
One police report stated she showed officers "fresh bruises" on her arm.
Police reportedly heard Mills instructing the woman to lie about the origin of her bruises during a phone call.
The woman later told NBC4 that no physical abuse occurred, claiming her bruises were from being active while traveling.
Mills has denied any wrongdoing and expects to be cleared by the investigation.
