A US lawmaker has been dramatically expelled from Congress after his colleagues voted overwhelmingly to throw him out of the House of Representatives.
The Republican Party's now former Congressman, George Santos, becomes the sixth person ever to be dismissed from the lower chamber, and the first one since the Civil War to be removed without having been criminally convicted.
