Rep. Nancy Mace Uncovers Another Taxpayer-Funded Sexual Harassment Settlement

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 12, 2026) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) today announced she has received a new set of documents from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights in response to her subpoena motion of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund.

The documents reveal $220,000 in taxpayer funds were used to settle a sexual harassment claim against former Congressman Alcee Hastings.

Rep. Mace received an initial set of documents last week revealing $338,361 in settlements paid on behalf of six former Members of the House of Representatives or their offices, see HERE.With the addition of former Congressman Hastings this now brings the total uncovered to $558,361.

"We were told we had all the files. Then we got this one this week," said Congresswoman Mace. "More than half a million hard-earned taxpayer dollars have been used to cover up the misconduct of members of Congress. If they are still finding records to hand over, how many more are still out there? How many more settlements are buried waiting to be uncovered? American taxpayers are not a slush fund for Congress to buy its way out of accountability."

Congresswoman Mace has been leading the charge to expose congressional misconduct and she will continue to push to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people.
