'If There Is No Evidence, There Would Be No Investigation': Nancy Mace on Brian Musgrave, vs. Scarlett Wilson's Quote Exonerating Him
The morning after she named him on the House floor, Rep. Nancy Mace answered Brian Musgrave's denial on X: 'So, Brian Musgrave, if there is no evidence, there would be no investigation.' His defamation suit was dismissed after the United States was substituted for her, in an order that offers no opinion on whether her allegations were true. Three days later she posted that she looked forward to the day his lawyer 'and his client will be forced to foot the bill for my attorney's fees.' In August 2026, Solicitor Scarlett Wilson wrote to SLED that its report on her allegations 'offers zero evidence that Mr. Musgrave committed any crime because zero evidence was presented to you.' He has never been charged.

Nancy Mace's Bill Says Losing Plaintiffs Pay. Her Replies Asked: What About the Falsely Accused?
Rep. Nancy Mace has promoted her Speak Your Truth Act, H.R. 10783, in nine X posts since October 12. The bill would make a plaintiff who loses a federal defamation suit over a statement about sexual assault, harassment or discrimination pay the defendant's lawyers. We read the 445 replies X showed under those posts. 37 asked about people who are falsely accused, and 21 more pointed to her own accusations; 47 supported the bill. The accusations her replies raised include the ones she made from the House floor on February 10, 2025. The only defamation suit over those that has ended, Brian Musgrave's, was decided in federal court on immunity, with the judge offering 'no opinion concerning the truthfulness or the lack of truthfulness' of her allegations. The state's prosecutors did weigh the evidence. In August, Solicitor Scarlett Wilson wrote that SLED's report 'offers zero evidence that Mr. Musgrave committed any crime,' Solicitors Duffie Stone and Kevin Brackett concurred, and Brackett wrote that Musgrave 'is completely innocent.' He was never charged. The bill has no cosponsors and has not moved since October 9.

EXCLUSIVE: Brian Musgrave Speaks to ABC News 4 After Three Prosecutors Clear Him
In an exclusive interview with ABC News 4 (WCIV), Brian Musgrave describes learning from a reporter's text, while driving to buy birdseed, that Rep. Nancy Mace had named him in her February 10, 2025 House floor speech, and what it was like to read the letters of three South Carolina solicitors. Solicitor Kevin Brackett wrote that there is “not one speck of evidence that substantiates any of the reckless accusations she made against Mr. Musgrave and that he is completely innocent of these outrageous claims.” Solicitor Scarlett Wilson wrote of “the lack of even a scintilla of evidence.” Solicitor Duffie Stone wrote that Mace offered “neither evidence nor even suspicions.” Musgrave’s federal suit against Mace was dismissed on August 20, 2025 on immunity grounds, and the court offered no opinion on whether her allegations were true. ABC News 4 reported that Mace has offered no apology. The interview is ABC News 4’s, by Madison Wilber, Oct. 16, 2026.

SLED's 147-page report looked at 26 allegations Rep. Nancy Mace made against four men on the House floor.

On a separate claim, four witnesses told SLED the camera she called hidden in Bryant's condo was in plain view. SLED also found no child sexual abuse images. All four men named by Mace issued strong denials. Mace did not respond to the paper.

"She Would Have and Should Have Been Sued Into Bankruptcy": Three South Carolina Prosecutors on Nancy Mace's Accusations Against Brian Musgrave
Three of South Carolina's senior prosecutors reviewed the state investigation of Rep. Nancy Mace's accusations, and each wrote, in a letter now public, that her public accusations against Brian Musgrave lacked evidence. Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson called them 'spurious claims' resting on 'the lack of even a scintilla of evidence' (Aug. 14, 2026). Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone wrote that her statements 'branding Brian Musgrave a predator, a rapist, and a human trafficker are shocking' (Aug. 18). Sixteenth Circuit Solicitor Kevin Brackett wrote that 'there is not one speck of evidence' and that, had she not been protected by the Constitution, she 'would have and should have been sued into bankruptcy' (Aug. 21). FITSNews and ABC News 4 published the letters on Oct. 14, 2026. The letters are shown here. Musgrave has always denied the accusations. Mace has not retracted them.

Nancy Mace named Ninth Judicial Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson, the elected chief prosecutor whose circuit would handle the cases arising from Mace's own allegations, and accused her of leaking evidence, refusing to prosecute rape, and having 'inserted yourself into this investigation and … obstructed the investigation.' Wilson answered that her office was not running the investigation, SLED was, and said 'I have no idea what the Congresswoman is referring to.'
