The Washington Post reported on May 10, 2024 that Rep. Nancy Mace had publicly accused former members of her congressional staff of sabotage, telling outlets that ex-aides had hacked her phone, mismanaged her office budget, spied on her children, and tried to destroy electronic devices. The Post interviewed multiple former staffers, who disputed Mace's characterization point by point and offered their own accounts of conditions inside the office.
The story landed amid sustained national coverage of Mace's congressional staff turnover, one of the highest documented rates in Congress, which had already been reported by The Daily Beast, Salon, and The New Republic. Mace stood by her allegations; her former aides rejected them. The competing accounts remain a matter of public dispute.
