Republican George Santos is accused of stealing money from the party's campaign coffers and a fundraiser for a sick dog.
Then he bought botox, designer clothes and Onlyfans subscriptions.
Now he is being thrown out of the US House of Representatives.
The scandal-ridden Republican has been investigated by the House of Representatives for a long time.
Now they have found "extensive evidence of misconduct" and decided to exclude him, US media reports.
Santos is accused, among other things, of receiving a $50,000 campaign donation into his own account, People reports. He also allegedly stole money from a fundraiser for a sick dog.
Denies everything
He has since bought luxury goods from Sephora and Hermès for thousands of dollars. He is also said to have bought subscriptions to Only fans, a media platform mostly used to sell pornographic content.
Santos is the sixth member ever to be expelled from the House of Representatives.
The 35-year-old is suspected of 23 cases of fraud, but denies all charges himself.
The Democrats now hope to squeeze the empty seat in the House of Representatives and reduce the Republican majority.
