Event Summary

Representative Nancy Mace is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee following a referral from the United States===Office of Congressional Conduct. The allegations stem from 'improper reimbursement practices' related to her Washington, D.C. lodgings, where she allegedly sought and received reimbursements exceeding her actual expenses by nearly $9,500 between 2023 and 2024. The United States===Office of Congressional Conduct report indicates that Nancy Mace declined to cooperate with their initial review, which her lawyer, William Sullivan, has criticized as 'fundamentally flawed,' suggesting that information from her ex-fiancé, Brendan Patrick Bryant, may have influenced the report. This investigation comes as Nancy Mace is campaigning for governor of South Carolina and has also recently introduced a resolution to increase transparency regarding sexual harassment investigations within Congress, a move that has drawn attention due to unrelated allegations against Representative Tony Gonzales.
