Collins rips report on pay-for-play allegations: ‘Partisan hit job’

Democrats in Maine accused Republican Senator Susan Collins of corruption following a ProPublica report stating the FBI proposed investigating her for accepting bribes before Donald Trump derailed the inquiry. The report claims a Super Pac head solicited campaigns before her 2020 election. Collins rejected the bribery allegations as categorically false and offensive, describing the report as a partisan hit job and questioning the credibility of a twice-convicted felon involved in the claims during a crucial Senate race.
