I haven’t read it but here is the whole thing



A political strategist for U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace testified in a deposition
that the congresswoman once asked him to pressure her former fiancé into
giving her full ownership of their two jointly held homes and threatened to
use images she'd found on her ex's cellphone as leverage if he refused.

The request, which strategist Wesley Donehue said he interpreted as a
blackmail threat, was made sometime after a lunch he had with Mace in late
November 2023. 

When contacted about the comment, Mace's office took issue with the term
"blackmail." Her representatives issued a written statement May 22 noting
the word had been repeated by Donehue only after an attorney asked what
they contend was a leading question.

"In his deposition, Wesley Donehue said he and Congresswoman Mace were
friends," the statement read. "He said she came to him emotionally
distraught and afraid for her safety. He saw bruises on her body. Nothing
else matters."

The events Donehue described in the April 28 deposition obtained by The
Post and Courier would have preceded the high-profile speech Mace delivered
in early February on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. In
that speech, Mace accused four men, including former fiancé Patrick Bryant,
of being sexual predators who had committed serious crimes, including rape,
assault and voyeurism. Mace identified herself as a victim.

All of the men have denied the allegations while Mace, R-Charleston, has
characterized her speech as a step in her goal to protect women.

Donehue gave his deposition in front of attorneys representing GLT2, LLC, a
recently formed company that is based in Mount Pleasant. The sworn
statement was taken as part of the discovery process — the legal
fact-gathering lawyers conduct ahead of a potential filing of a lawsuit.

The attorney representing the company in collecting Donehue's statement was
Barrett Brewer, one of Bryant's longtime attorneys. Brewer represented
Bryant in previous litigation regarding the Isle of Palms house jointly
owned by Bryant and Mace.

"I could only tell you what I've seen," Donehue said in his deposition.
"And what I know is that she believed — and she did believe — that Patrick
cheated on her and had pictures of women without their consent; and she sat
on that information for well over a year, did not want to contact
authorities, and asked me to blackmail Patrick Bryant."

At the time, Mace and Bryant shared ownership of two residences, one a home
on the Isle of Palms and the other a townhome in Washington, D.C. In
February, the D.C. property was sold.

Donehue, who was subpoenaed for his testimony after initially refusing to
speak with the attorneys, said in the deposition that Mace reached out and
asked to meet for lunch at Shiki, a sushi restaurant in downtown Charleston
not far from his office.

During that lunch, Donehue said Mace told him that she feared for her life
but was planning to go to the Caribbean with Bryant and his friends in a
few days' time, a duality that puzzled Donehue. 

He said she told him she believed Bryant had taken photos of women,
including herself, without their consent and now she was planning to break
up with him.
