Rep. Cory Mills returning from Israel after shuttling 77 stranded Americans out of the country

WASHINGTON – He’s trading the River Jordan for Jim Jordan.

Rep. Cory Mills is on his way back to Capitol Hill to help his party select a new House speaker after shuttling 77 Americans out of Israel via neighboring Jordan during a two-day visit, he told The Post Thursday.

On Tuesday, Mills (R-Fla.) read a Post report highlighting the plight of Silver Prout, an American trapped in Israel with a California-based church group who had been on a Holy Land tour when the Hamas terror group attacked the Jewish state on Oct. 7.

The account was one of several Mills had heard of US citizens stuck in a war zone after major airlines grounded flights to and from Israel.
