An investigation by ProPublica reveals that federal anti-corruption agents were building a bribery case examining Senator Susan Collins and a major defense donor. The inquiry focused on whether millions in taxpayer-funded naval contracts were traded for illegal campaign cash. Before investigators could proceed, the probe was abruptly halted after a Trump administration shake-up gutted the FBI unit leading the case. Collins's campaign has strongly denied the allegations, calling them completely false, while her political opponents demand answers as a tight Senate race hangs in the balance. 0:00 Details of the FBI probe 0:55 ProPublica reporter unpacks the alleged crimes 4:14 Democrats see a prime opportunity to unseat Susan Collins Watch 24/7 live news with CNN Headlines: https://bit.ly/4eIvlTr #Trump #election #News
