        “Even after OCE’s exhaustive review of the congresswoman’s personal communications, there is no record of the congresswoman refusing to pay for these expenses,” said Hitt. “To the contrary, there are several explicit, documented communications, from prior to OCE’s review, that show the congresswoman understood that she had to pay for these expenses from her own personal funds—as she ultimately did. We are confident the Ethics Committee will dismiss this matter."

        Is that the punishment applied in similar cases? Can you show me a couple examples of house representatives being removed after ethics issues of roughly this magnitude?

          Most resign. Very few people are removed. It’s not a minor violation. It’s fairly severe.
