Nancy Mace's campaign paid her lawsuit lawyers $176,206
FEC filings show Nancy Mace for Congress paid $176,206.28 in six months, from Dec. 22, 2025 to June 15, 2026, to two law firms: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP ($150,000 in three payments) and Moorman Law Firm LLC ($26,206.28). Those are the two firms on the signature block of the defamation suit Mace filed in May 2025 against Eric Bowman, which her complaint says she brought as a private citizen. The campaign had reported about $24,264 in legal fees in the seven years before, and it reported $0.00 in receipts for January through June 2026. Every filing line says only legal fees. No public record shows what the payments covered, and there is no finding of any violation and no FEC matter on the public record. This documentary, about fifteen minutes with a Short, lays out the filings, the court record and her own words.
