Representative Nancy Mace Wins Financial Sanctions In Court Today For Fictitious Lawsuit Created By Attorney Barrett Brewer And His Client Patrick Bryant
Today is an expensive day for Bryant and his attorney in Judge’s extremely rare and scathing ruling for financial sanctions in favor of Congresswoman Mace
CHARLESTON, S.C., October 30, 2025 — Today, the Charleston County Court of Common Pleas issued a final sanctions order against Patrick Bryant’s company, GLT2, LLC, and attorney Barrett Brewer after finding they violated South Carolina state law to target Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
In its 26-page ruling, the court determined Brewer and his client, Bryant, used shell companies GLT1 LLC and GLT2 LLC to secretly subpoena and depose individuals without court approval, actions the court called “wholly inconsistent” with South Carolina’s civil procedure rules.
“Today’s ruling sends a clear message: no one is above the law,” said Congresswoman Mace. “This was an outrageous case of lawfare by individuals trying to weaponize the courts against a sitting member of Congress and rape victim Jane Doe. We stood our ground, We fought back, and justice was served cold. They earned all of it and then some. They will get everything coming to them and I will not feel an ounce of pity or pain for what they’ve done.”
According to the Court, Brewer’s filings were purposely deficient and misleading, deliberately concealing Rep. Mace as the true subject of a proceeding and violating South Carolina’s requirement to name adverse parties. The order described his actions as “without regard for the requirements of Rule 27 and Rule 11,” the state’s rules for lawful pre-suit discovery and attorney ethics.
The Honorable T.J. Rode concluded the sanctions were warranted “to deter future litigation abuse” and to ensure accountability for those who “knowingly filed a deficient petition and issued various subpoenas for depositions which had not been sanctioned or ordered by the Court.”
Congresswoman Mace was represented by attorneys Robert Wyndam and Mary Grace Wyndam of the Wyndam Law Firm.
“Sanctions are extremely rare, they’re reserved for the most serious misconduct,” said Congresswoman Mace. “The court made clear this wasn’t a mistake. This was a deliberate abuse of power. This was lawfare. This was weaponization.”
The Court’s order also requires Brewer to deliver all witness affidavits, statements, and deposition materials obtained through his unlawful subpoenas to Rep. Mace’s counsel within fifteen days.
In addition, the Court ordered Brewer and his firm to pay attorney’s fees to both Congresswoman Mace’s legal team and to Jane Doe’s counsel, a combined total of $48,456.74.
