The FBI Anti-Corruption Squad Was Circling Susan Collins — Until Trump Got in the Way
Bad Look
tl;dr

ProPublica reports that FBI agents pursued a broader congressional bribery investigation based partly on allegations involving Sen. Susan Collins and defense contractor Navatek, but the effort stalled after Trump-era purges disrupted the teams. Collins’ office denies wrongdoing, and the FBI previously said it found nothing implicating her or her campaign.
