  • George Santos, the US Congressman accused of money laundering, lying about his past, and stealing campaign funds, to pay for everything from luxury holidays to Botox treatment, has been expelled by the House of Representatives.
    An ethics report had found that Congressman George Santos exploited “every aspect” of his role for personal financial profit.
    Mr Santos is facing 21 criminal charges.
    Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Gary O'Donohue reports from Washington.
