The Daily Mail reports:
The Republican congresswoman fired or lost nine staffers from her Washington D.C. office in three months – and many of them trashed her to the media on the way out. Now, the South Carolina lawmaker has dramatically hit back and accused the former aides of sabotage in an extraordinary interview with DailyMail.com.
Mace, 46, says the departed staffers mismanaged $1 million, hacked her phone, spied on medical records, and even submerged electronic devices in water and deleted files to cover their tracks. The mother-of-two claims they even went as far snooping on her childrens’ calendars and would monitor doctor appointments.
Former staffers denied that her personal devices had been hacked, and said it was standard routine for elected officials to share their personal calendars with staff. “She had a personal calendar, a political calendar, and official calendar. All three of those calendars were managed and shared with senior staff so that we could go about the daily operations. No one hacked her accounts. She set them all up.”

The ex-staffers also say that Mace would petulantly revoke access to her calendar, making it impossible for them to do their jobs.
Mace earned headlines last year when staffers revealed that she had tasked them with a daily quota of scheduling television appearances for her.
Mace is also accusing her former aides of “leaving money on the table” by not using all of the funds allocated for office operations. Unused funds are returned to the Treasury at the end of every fiscal year.
