The House Ethics Committee announced Monday it was conducting a review of a referral from the Office of Congressional Conduct into allegations against Rep. Nancy Mace regarding violations of House rules for expenses related to her Washington, D.C., lodgings.
The announcement comes after a Dec. 2 referral from the OCC, which found that the South Carolina Republican may have engaged in improper reimbursement practices for seeking reimbursements exceeding the expenses she incurred.
“The Board recommends that the Committee further review the above allegation concerning Rep. Mace because there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Mace engaged in improper reimbursement practices,” reads the OCC report released Monday by the Ethics Committee.
