The House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) over allegations that she may have engaged in “improper reimbursement practices” and violated House rules.
The committee wrote in a statement on Monday that they had received a referral from the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), which reviews allegations of misconduct against members of Congress.
The board of the OCC had written in a report that there is “substantial reason to believe” that Mace had “engaged in improper reimbursement practices,” recommending that the committee further review the allegation. The report alleges that Mace’s requests for reimbursement had exceeded the total of her D.C. property expenses during several months in 2023 and 2024, “amounting to an excess of 9,485.46.”
The chairman and ranking member of the House Ethics Committee wrote in a statement that it had “extended its review of the matter.”
“The Committee notes that the mere fact of conducting further review of a referral, and any mandatory disclosure of such further review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” the statement says
