On May 23, 2025, Patrick Bryant shared the Post & Courier's report on sworn deposition testimony by Wesley Donehue, Rep. Nancy Mace's former campaign strategist. Bryant introduced the excerpts with a caveat:

"New article out today in the Post and Courier, detailing sworn deposition testimony from Nancy Mace's former campaign strategist, Wesley Donahue. While I can't speak to the accuracy of everything he said — and some of it I disagree with — here are some of the excerpts — make of them what you will."

The article reported Donehue's testimony that Mace asked him to pressure Bryant into surrendering full ownership of two jointly held homes, threatening to use images she said she had found on Bryant's phone as leverage:

"she believed — and she did believe — that Patrick cheated on her and had pictures of women without their consent; and she sat on that information for well over a year, did not want to contact authorities, and asked me to blackmail Patrick Bryant."

This dispatch documents what Patrick Bryant shared publicly. The deposition testimony is attributed to Wesley Donehue; Mace's office disputed the characterization "blackmail." Mace denies Bryant's allegations and Bryant denies Mace's; the dispute is the subject of ongoing civil litigation. See People in the Public Record.
