Nancy Mace’s Trump Name-Drop Email to Judge Exposed in Court
Published May 2, 2026 at 5:29 am
Congresswoman Nancy Mace just got caught red-handed trying to use the president’s name to influence a judge in her legal battle with her ex. Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal an email where Mace allegedly name-dropped Trump while writing to the judge presiding over the case. Yeah, really.
The South Carolina rep’s message was revealed in new legal filings tied to her ongoing dispute with her former partner. It’s unclear exactly what she was hoping to accomplish by invoking the president’s name, but judges generally aren’t thrilled when defendants try to drop power players into their inbox. The move could seriously backfire for her case.
Details about what specifically Mace wrote to the judge haven’t been fully released, but the fact that court docs are now public means this is about to get messy. Her legal team is probably having a very bad day right about now.
