On September 2, 2025, Mace posted on X (@NancyMace):
"Since it's already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early. As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can't breathe."
The post came after news outlets reported that Mace had departed the closed-door House Oversight Committee briefing with Jeffrey Epstein's victims before it concluded.
