President Trump with two of his strongest (former) congressional supporters -- Chris Collins (center) and Duncan Hunter -- both headed for the slammer this year.
Chris Collins, the first member of Congress to back Donald Trump for president, was charged in August 2018 with securities fraud, wire fraud and making false statements to FBI agents — part of an alleged scheme to share confidential information about an Australian biotech company whose board he sat on.
At his sentencing hearing, the disgraced Congressman broke down in sobs as he pleaded for mercy for himself and his son.
“I violated my core values and there is no excuse,” Collins said, breathing heavily. “What I have done has marked me for life.”
Be that as it may, Judge Vernon Broderick sentenced Collins to 26 months and a fine of $200,000 on Friday. https://www.politico.com/states/new-york...me-1252648
