Nancy Mace’s Reported Panic Attack After Meeting Epstein Survivors Sparks Controversy
During a closed-door House Oversight Committee briefing with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, Representative Nancy Mace, a self-identified sexual assault survivor, experienced a “full-blown panic attack” and had to leave the meeting. The briefing was part of the committee’s investigation into the handling of Epstein’s case, aiming to provide a direct forum for survivors to share their experiences. Mace later shared that she struggled with hearing the victims’ stories and suffered physical symptoms. The Oversight Committee plans further action to review and release Epstein-related records.
