MAGA firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is under investigation, according to the House Ethics Committee, but the circumstances of why weren't immediately known.
In a cryptic statement Friday obtained by Bryan Metzger of Business Insider, the committee chair said the ethics panel had extended the matter about Mace. The matter was transmitted to the Committee of the Office of Congressional Conduct on Dec. 2.
A decision on a possible "course of action" was due by March 2.
