"Nancy Mace claims ethics investigation is retribution for Clinton Epstein deposition."
The Daily Signal (Pedro Rodriguez), March 6, 2026
The Daily Signal published an exclusive statement from Mace on March 6, 2026, four days after the House Ethics Committee investigation was made public. In the statement, Mace framed the investigation as political retaliation for her legislative work on the Epstein files release and her deposition of the Clintons.
Mace's statement characterized the ethics investigation as part of a broader pattern of opposition from what she termed "the swamp," situating the reimbursement allegations within her narrative of partisan conflict on Capitol Hill.
