Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) went after some of her former aides on Friday, alleging they had hacked her phone, mismanaged money and decimated electronic devices in a plot to sabotage her time in Congress.
“They were signing my name on documents they didn’t have permission to do — one of them submerged their electronic devices under water so we couldn’t access their files. They deleted files, some of them deleted files off our server, so there’d be no documentation for the new staff that were coming in,” claimed Mace, per the Daily Mail.
“I knew that they were sabotaging the office for a while.”
Mace, who is the first Republican woman elected to the House of Representatives from South Carolina, previously fired former chief of staff Dan Hanlon as well as deputy chief of staff Richard Chalkey back in December. She also faced numerous resignations, with a total of nine staffers leaving her office by February.
Hanlon notably filed to run against his former boss back in January.
The South Carolina congresswoman said that some of her former staffers worked to “leak the names of the new employees we were hiring so that negative stories could be written about them” and that she “even had interns quit because old staff threatened the interns, threatened that they would never get a job on the hill if they worked in my office.”
Another allegation is that a former Mace staffer hacked her personal devices, tracking her for a total of nine months.
“Literally, they could see where I was at all times. They could see my kids’ calendars, my doctors’ appointments, my medical information,” explained Mace.
“The stories I have from some of my former staff are horrific, and were a massive invasion of my privacy.”
As far as the alleged mismanged funds go, Mace said that her office is now “finding thousands of dollars in bills they didn’t pay” along with “paperwork that didn’t get filed that was supposed to.”
“That money could have also gone toward salaries, bonuses – especially if you’re entry-level, it’s really hard to get by in DC,” she lamented. “It was really outrageous.”
A couple of Mace’s former employees refuted her claims, telling the Daily Mail that she had neglected to greenlight hundreds of thousands of dollars in necessary office expenditures and that it is normal for congressional staff to access the representatives’ calendars.
“No one hacked her accounts. She set them all up,” commented one former employee.
“This seems to be stemming from paranoia and trust issues,” said another.
“She’s clearly unwell and I hope she gets help.”
Mace has been in Congress since 2021, and is currently seeking to be re-elected in November 2024.
The South Carolina congresswoman frequently appears on news headlines; she notably caught attention in March after she had a contentious argument with ABC host George Stephanopoulos, who she says attempted to “rape-shame” her upon questioning why she would support former President Donald Trump given that she has been a victim of such a heinous crime. Stephanopoulos’ premise was, of course, suggesting that the former president is a rapist of sorts, an allegation that has yet to be proven.
