A former aide made explosive claims about Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and the nude photos she recently showed on the House floor.
The congresswoman's former political adviser Wesley Donehue testified in a deposition that Mace planned to use the naked photos she found on her boyfriend's phone as leverage to get him to give her two properties. He said the MAGA lawmaker loved to play "the victim card" and constantly talked about sex, reported The Daily Beast.
“Nancy talks about her sex life in a way that I’ve never heard a client or a woman talk,” said Donehue, a corporate and political strategist who has known Mace for years. “It’s like every conversation would devolve into what’s going on in her sex life."
Donehue said in the filing that Mace asked him to inform her ex-boyfriend Patrick Bryant that she had found photos and videos of multiple women on his phone, including a blurry image of herself that she said was taken while she was going to the bathroom.
Her former political adviser claimed Mace intended “to use all the information that she found as leverage to gain 100 percent ownership” of a pair of homes they shared in Washington D.C., and South Carolina’s Isle of Palms.

“Did Nancy ever task you with communicating with Patrick Bryant about her possession of these alleged photographs in asking you to essentially help her blackmail Patrick into giving over 100 percent ownership?” a lawyer asked, according to the filing, and Donehue answered "yes."
Mace found the photos after she saw dating apps on Bryant’s phone, Donehue said, leading to concerns he was cheating on her. He said the congresswoman is a tech geek who “sits all night on the couch and programs bots, because she’s very, very computer savvy.”
The lawmaker claimed she feared for her safety after discovering the photos, which appeared to have been taken without the women's knowledge, Donehue said, but she nonetheless planned on joining Bryant on a planned trip to the Caribbean that he cautioned against.
“I said, ‘Nancy, you can’t say you fear for your safety and you’re going to the Caribbean with him and some of his friends,’” he said. “Then she said – I remember as clear as day – 'I’m taking my free vacation to the Caribbean.'"
“I believe that Nancy believed the things that she was saying,” he added.
