  • A video shows a male associate touching Rep. Madison Cawthorn's groin.

  • FireMadison.com said that Cawthorn made the payments.

  • The stuff we did in Amsterdam are included in the payments made to the male associate.

A video that has been viewed millions of times appears to show a female lawmaker being groped.

Cawthorn is being filmed in a vehicle.

Cawthorn says in the video that he would like to see a naked body beneath his hands.

The man is doing the filming. While turning the camera on himself, I would like to see that as well. Cawthorn burst out laughing and the other man filmed himself putting his hand on the lawmaker's groin.

The video was shared by the account of MeidasTouch.com, a super PAC dedicated to protecting American democracy, defeating Trumpism, and holding Republicans accountable.

The video has been viewed over 520,000 times and received over 10,000 likes. It has been shared over 6,000 times.

Stephen Smith is the man in the video that is Cawthorn's scheduler, according to FireMadison.com. The site is operated by a political action committee that wants to ensure that Cawthorn's first term in office is his last.

The president of American Mucrakers uploaded a copy of an ethics complaint he filed against Cawthorn. The complaint alleges that Cawthorn did not properly report gifts and loans to Mr. Stephen L. Smith.

Wheeler claims that Cawthorn and Smith are living together, and that they are both registered with the FEC.

Wheeler posted several pictures of what he claimed were Smith and Cawthorn's payments to one another. The images shared showed messages between the two before Smith joined Cawthorn's campaign for Congress.

Some of the payments sent from Cawthorn to Smith included labels like "getting naked for me in Sweden" and "The quickie at the airport."

Smith paid Cawthorn for loving him daily and nightly.

Wheeler asked the committee to investigate the relationship between Cawthorn and his employee.

Insider was unable to verify the contents of the email. Insider did not receive a response to requests for comments from Wheeler, Smith or Cawthorn.

Cawthorn has been involved in a lot of controversy.

The congressman may have violated the STOCK Act by failing to declare his purchases of cryptocurrencies.

Lawmakers from his home state of North Carolina and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy chastised Cawthorn after he claimed he had witnessed sexual perversion and drug use among his Congress colleagues.

Cawthorn dismissed the congressman's lingerie photos as goofy vacation photos.

Cawthorn was cited for bringing a loaded gun into the airport. He had been found with a gun in his luggage before.
