Rep. Nancy Mace Splits with Fiancé Amid Office Controversies
The South Carolina Republican faces potential ethics investigation and staff exodus in addition to personal turmoil.
- Rep. Nancy Mace has reportedly split with her fiancé, Patrick Bryant, and the two are now in a legal dispute over two multi-million dollar homes they purchased together.
- Mace has been accused of frequently discussing her sex life in front of junior staffers in her office, which could potentially lead to a House Ethics Committee investigation if a complaint is filed.
- Mace was one of eight GOP lawmakers who voted in favor of ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October.
- Mace's chief of staff, Dan Hanlon, has since been fired, and at least five other aides have left her office.
- Mace allegedly flouted House rules by soliciting donations at the Capitol complex during an interview with Fox Business.
