Overview
- The House Ethics Committee said Monday it is reviewing a referral from the Office of Congressional Conduct regarding Rep. Nancy Mace’s Washington housing reimbursements and noted a review does not itself indicate a violation.
- In a referral completed in December and released Monday, the OCC said there is substantial reason to believe Mace engaged in improper reimbursement practices.
- The OCC identified multiple months in 2023 and 2024 when her reimbursement requests exceeded the property’s expenses, totaling an alleged overage of $9,485.46.
- The report states Mace declined to be interviewed during the OCC’s inquiry.
- Mace’s attorney labeled the referral “fundamentally flawed,” arguing it relies on materials linked to her former fiancé, Brendan Patrick Bryant, and challenging the report’s credibility.
