Rep. Nancy Mace reignites her abuse allegations against Patrick Bryant in a dramatic Capitol Hill testimony.
She showed censored nude images, claiming they were retrieved from hidden recordings taken without her consent.
Mace says she uncovered 10,000+ disturbing images and videos in Bryant’s digital files late last year.
She accused Bryant and three others of committing sex crimes, including against herself and other women.
Bryant strongly denied all accusations, stating: “These claims are false, malicious, and deeply personal.”
He also criticized Mace for using her congressional platform for accusations instead of pursuing legal action.
One man sued Mace for defamation; she countersued another for online attacks and false public claims.
Mace declared, “There is no defamation in the truth,” brushing off the mounting legal threats.
The defamation battle may hinge on congressional privilege, shielding speech made during House proceedings.
Mace’s legal defense will be backed by a U.S. Attorney’s Office lawyer, escalating the drama.
Beyond politics, Mace positions herself as an advocate for women’s privacy and protection from digital abuse.
