Maine Dems hammer Collins over report of pay-to-play probe. GOP senator calls it 'completely false'
Maine Democrats attacked Sen. Susan Collins over a ProPublica report that the FBI planned a pay-to-play investigation into her dealings with a defense contractor donor, which never launched after Trump took office. Collins called the story false and noted the FBI said the allegations were already investigated and found nothing implicating her. The article closes by detailing the Trump administration's reduction of FBI and Justice Department corruption-fighting resources.
