Nancy Mace Under House Ethics Investigation
The House Ethics Committee announced Friday afternoon that Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was under investigation by the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC).
As pointed out by Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger, it is not yet known why Mace is being investigated. Considering the timing at the beginning of December, it may relate to an incident at the Charleston International Airport just over a month prior, in which she reportedly berated airport police. An internal investigation report accused Mace of overreacting to a miscommunication about her travel security, causing a “spectacle,” calling the police “f*cking idiots” and “f*cking incompetent.” Mace has disputed the allegations in the report, which she claimed was “falsified.”
The press release, posted on the committee’s website, noted that Mace, who is running in a crowded GOP primary to be South Carolina’s next governor, was the subject of a matter that had been referred by the OCC on Dec. 2.
“The Committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” the press release noted, adding that it would “announce its course of action in this matter on or before March 2, 2026.”
