    Court appoints former Judge Kristi Harrington as third-party neutral to sort the 11,000+ disputed files in Mace's Google Drive

    On June 16, 2026, Judge Donald B. Hocker appointed Kristi Harrington, a Charleston attorney and former South Carolina Circuit Court judge, to serve as a 'third-party neutral' in Assignment Desk Works, LLC v. Alexis Berg (Charleston County Court of Common Pleas, No. 2025-CP-10-2671), one of the cluster of cases tied to Rep. Nancy Mace and her former fiance, Patrick Bryant. Harrington's task is to review the more than 11,000 electronic files in what the court calls 'Mace's Google Drive,' files that both Mace and Bryant claim to own, and decide which, if any, must be turned over in discovery. The court split her fees between the two camps, warned the volume could make the process 'very cost-prohibitive,' and entered the order over Mace's objection. The order makes no finding on privilege, admissibility, ownership, or wrongdoing; the underlying allegations remain contested and unproven.

    Gretchen Carlson, who helped write the Speak Out Act, files a sworn declaration backing Alexis Berg

    On June 8, 2026, Alexis Berg's counsel filed a reply brief in Assignment Desk Works, LLC v. Alexis Berg (No. 2025-CP-10-2671) arguing that the federal Speak Out Act makes the non-disparagement clause ADW is suing on judicially unenforceable, because the dispute before the court involves sexual-assault allegations. Attached was a sworn declaration from Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox News anchor whose 2016 case helped inspire the Act, who states she has met with Berg and that 'this is exactly the situation we fought to address,' and offers to testify. ADW argues the Act does not apply. The motion is undecided; the underlying allegations are contested and denied.

    On her first recorded call with Ali Berg, Mace lays out a civil suit against Patrick Bryant: 'He can sell a building or two, settle, be done' and accusers 'can get 150 K each'

    FITSNews published the full audio of Nancy Mace's first recorded phone call with Ali Berg. Across 44 minutes Mace asks the call stay 'private,' spends little time on the alleged assault or the man she names as the assailant, never offers a victim advocate or a referral to law enforcement, and instead pitches a civil lawsuit against her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant, predicting he will 'sell a building or two, settle,' and that accusers could 'get 150 K each.'

    "You have to hit him in his pocketbook with a civil suit": the first recorded call with Ali Berg, in her own words

    A produced supercut of Rep. Nancy Mace's first recorded phone call with Ali Berg (April 6, 2024), published by FITSNews on June 7, 2026, after the recording was produced in ADW v. Berg. Across 44 minutes Mace pitched a civil lawsuit and a payout, never mentioned the police, and never offered Berg a victim advocate or counselor.

    For All the Accusations, 'Not One Woman Other Than Defendant Has Brought an Action Against Bryant, Including Mace'

    In a two-page response filed March 4, 2026, ADW's counsel Rene Stuhr Dukes told a Charleston court that despite a coordinated effort by Ali Berg and Nancy Mace to level sexual-crime accusations against Patrick Bryant, no woman — including Mace herself — has filed a legal action against him. The filing is opposing counsel's argument, not a judicial finding; Bryant's denials and an open SLED investigation remain part of the record.

    Mace voluntarily shared her Google Drive as 'helpful' evidence, then sent 'threatening' letters demanding it back

    In a January 2026 emergency motion, Ali Berg's attorney Marybeth Mullaney told a Charleston court that Congresswoman Nancy Mace had voluntarily handed over her Google Drive in June 2025, saying she believed it would be 'helpful' to Berg's defense, and then reversed course, sending what the motion calls 'threatening emails and letters' demanding Berg's counsel stop using the materials, return or destroy them, and 'claw back' items already produced in discovery. The motion asks the court to step in and decide whether Berg may keep using what Mace herself provided.

    'There are at least two people in Mace's car': Bryant's counsel refuses to delete the recording, and announces an amended complaint

    The recording of Nancy Mace's first phone call with Ali Berg, produced by Berg's counsel in the ADW v. Berg civil case, quickly became a courtroom fight. When Berg's counsel designated it confidential, Bryant's counsel refused to delete it, argued witnesses in the car undermined any privacy claim, and announced he would amend the complaint against Mace based on its contents.

    Text messages show draft complaint revised line by line, with edits including: 'change statehouse floor to floor of the United States House of Representatives'

    Exhibit E to Bryant's December 22, 2025 opposition to a confidentiality order in Berg v. Bryant is a set of text-message screenshots between a contact identified as 'N M' and Alexis Berg, dated Monday, May 26, 2025. The thread includes an attachment titled 'Proposed Complaint, Ali's edits.docx' (228 KB), followed by a series of messages that walk through the draft complaint bullet by bullet, proposing specific textual changes. Bryant contends in the filing that these texts show Rep. Nancy Mace was 'actively drafting and revising the allegations' in Berg's complaint. Berg and Mace deny improper coordination; Berg's counsel has described any such suggestion as baseless. The litigation is ongoing and the allegations are unproven.

    Exhibit F: The Britton Texts Bryant Says Show No Evidence Was Ever Delivered

    Attached to Bryant's December 22, 2025 public opposition to a confidentiality order in Berg v. Bryant, Exhibit F is a set of text messages between Melissa Britton and Alexis Berg spanning March through May 2025. Bryant contends the messages show that Britton refused to provide Berg with any promised evidence of the alleged assault. Berg and Britton deny wrongdoing; Berg's counsel has called any suggestion of improper coordination baseless. The exhibit pages carry a CONFIDENTIAL designation applied by Berg's counsel, and the confidentiality dispute is itself before the court.

Court filings

  • Assignment Desk Works, LLC v. Alexis Berg

    Civil suit filed by Assignment Desk Works, LLC, a company tied to Patrick Bryant, against his former employee Alexis Berg to enforce a non-disparagement clause from a 2019 wage settlement. Rep. Nancy Mace is not a party, but she inserted herself as a 'Proposed Intervenor' to recover materials, including a recorded 2024 phone call, that she had voluntarily given Berg's lawyer, then tried to claw back. The court has repeatedly declined the relief she sought: already-produced materials stay in the record, Berg may keep using them, and the disputed files go to a neutral, all entered over Mace's objection.
