A US lawmaker has been dramatically expelled from Congress after his colleagues voted overwhelmingly to throw him out of the House of Representatives.

He stands accused by an ethics report of "exploiting" his position "for personal financial profit," allegedly stealing money from his own campaign to spend on botox treatments, luxury fashion brands, trips to Las Vegas, and even purchases from the adult content site Only Fans.
Benji Hyer's been following this saga that's gripped Washington for months.
