Congresswoman Nancy Mace Excoriates Patrick Bryant For Fictitious Ethics Investigation
Rep. Mace says, “Do the math and stop targeting victims who come forward to report abuse.”
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 21, 2025) - Today Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced Patrick Bryant helped initiate an Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) investigation into her lodging reimbursements in a sleazy attempt to defame her for reporting his potential criminal wrongdoing to law enforcement. Congresswoman Mace turned Bryant in to law enforcement for potential criminal wrongdoing to include but not limited to: child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexual assaults, voyeurism, extortion, harassment, domestic violence, and more.
This fictitious ethics investigation overlooks all Mr. Bryant has done to discredit himself and shows very obvious ulterior motives and many of his own substantial accounting errors. Rep. Mace is speaking out now to expose how victims are targeted by their abusers.
"I incurred over $100,000 on lodging expenses in DC and received approximately $29,000 after taxes to get reimbursed for lodging expenses. Do the math,” Congresswoman Mace stated. “Bryant is terrified he might go to jail. And if he does, my female constituents will be safer for it. This just goes to show how broken the system is when a predator can viciously go after his victims in this way and is permitted to do so regardless of the facts.”
The OCC investigation is an old story from 2024, planted by Bryant about Congresswoman Mace’s lodging reimbursements. During an approximately 18 month time period, Congresswoman Mace incurred over $100,000 in lodging expenses to live in Washington DC. During this same time period Congresswoman Mace received approximately $29,000 after taxes in lodging reimbursements. Rep. Mace used all of her lodging reimbursements on lodging expenses and very obviously didn’t keep a dime.
Mace added, “Make it make sense.”
Attached please find Rep. Mace’s letter to the OCC and a second, detailed addendum of some of the abuses she incurred at the hands of Mr. Bryant and some of his associates during this time period, and exposes the many significant accounting errors Bryant provided or omitted to the press and the OCC.
Mace now resides in her Office when in Washington due to the cost of accommodations in DC and the limited amount in lodging reimbursements Members of Congress may receive. It’s just not worth it.
While the OCC has not yet made a referral to the Ethics Committee, Rep. Mace has nothing to hide and believes it will be referred regardless of the actual facts. This is another political hit job. Nothing about the process has been fair or transparent. There has been no consideration for circumstances of domestic violence and spousal financial abuse during the time period in question. There has been no consideration for the steep lodging expenses Rep. Mace incurred during the time period in question. And there has been no consideration for Bryant leaking fictitious documents to the press, and providing fictitious documents to the OCC, which are the basis for this inquiry.
Rep. Mace is speaking out now to expose how victims are targeted by their abusers. It’s why Rep. Mace is so passionate about fixing what is clearly, very broken at the federal, state and local level.
