Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina on Monday used a nearly hour-long speech on the U.S. House floor to accuse her ex-fiancé of physically abusing her, recording sex acts with her and others without their consent, and conspiring with business associates in acts of rape and sexual misconduct. Mace said she was speaking out because her home state’s top prosecutor didn’t take action even after she alerted investigators. Mace mentioned four men as being involved, including Charleston-area businessman Patrick Bryant, who was her fiancé until 2023 and went door-to-door stumping for her during her 2022 reelection campaign.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not request more than $137,000 in repairs and upgrades to military housing at Fort McNair that will become his official residence, according to a U.S. official familiar with the work order, who says the Army undertook the repairs on its own since the more than 100-year-old home had sat vacant for a year and needed security upgrades. The cost of the repairs — including almost $50,000 being spent on new paint — came to light in a Jan. 30 notification to Congress from the Army. The notification prompted calls for greater transparency by some Democratic lawmakers who sought answers on why the cost was necessary and whether Hegseth would reimburse the government through rental payments for the military-provided housing, as other senior executive service defense officials are required to do.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said presidents have historically obeyed judicial rulings with a few exceptions as she advocated for the court to move cautiously to maintain a system of checks and balances, but without directly referencing President Donald Trump’s efforts to test the limits of the executive power. “But it’s also because the court has proceeded cautiously, and has proceeded understanding that it has to proceed slowly.” Judges have blocked Trump from moving forward with mass federal resignations and from implementing an executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge clarified on Tuesday that an order restricting billionaire Elon Musk's government cost-cutting effort from accessing the Treasury Department's payment systems does not apply to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on Saturday temporarily blocked Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency's access to the government systems used to process trillions of dollars in payments, granting a win to a coalition of Democratic attorneys general from 19 states who filed a lawsuit. That ruling sparked outcry from Trump allies - including Musk and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller - who said it blocked Bessent, who was confirmed by the Senate on January 28, from accessing the systems.
