“A political strategist for Rep. Nancy Mace testified in a deposition that the congresswoman once asked him to pressure her former fiancé into giving her full ownership of their two jointly held homes and threatened to use images she’d found on her ex’s cellphone as leverage if he refused,” the Charleston Post & Courier reports.
“The request, which strategist Wesley Donehue said he interpreted as a blackmail threat, was made sometime after a lunch he had with Mace in late November 2023.”
