JUST IN: GOP Rep. Chris Collins resigns amid plans to plead guilty in insider trading case

Collins sent a letter of resignation Monday to the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to her spokesman, who said Collins's resignation will be effective Tuesday.The first sitting congressman to back President Donald Trump's bid for the White House, Collins was reelected to office several months after he was originally indicted in the insider trading case.

Collins and his co-defendants had pleaded not guilty twice in the case, once after the original set of charges in August 2018 and a second time -- to the revised charges contained in what's known as a superseding indictment -- earlier this month.

Trump is investigating corruption. What a proven corrupt Republican party. Satanists from the beginning. Keep worshipping Trump. Eternity is taking note.

Trump was supposed to drain the swamp, but in fact he filled the swamp Trump Collins

Leeemaoo!!!

Careful celebrating this libs, Democrats have a history of insider trading

mess

Please convince Trump to resign also on your way out Chris.

What a shock

The swamp is being drained…

CNN cares only about ratings and headlines. Anti-Trump is good for its bottom line. Why give a platform to Collins yesterday for his absurd comments, or Ocasio-Cortez who upsets moderates? If CNN cared about Trump not being reelected, its programming would be different.

and no jail only a payout, amirite?

Go to Kip Simpson on YouTube to see more going down. It's amazing

Good riddance!

Appears the swap is draining itself

We already know that the entire GOP is a vast criminal enterprise. Some of them just haven’t been caught yet.

Another one bites the dust...

Another one bites the dust. The more the merrier.

So he used his position to financially benefit his family and friends . lol yeah that is unheard of lol . you would never see Biden use his position to benefit his family ..Biden never would allow his son to make money with governments that Biden controlled the policies .. never

Everyone who mixed up with Trump, Lanes in jail

Drain the Swamp - mostly Republicans

All Republicans are crooks.

And to think that this crook won reelection last November. Trump Train passengers are very forgiving of wrongdoing.

Cnn is so obsessed with trump, The Gop Rep registration has nothing to do with trump but they still have to mention his name in the post as trump supporter, i think President Trump is the oxygen needed by cnn to breath.

Always. A. Tweet.

Typically GOP in year 2019. The party of treasonousTrump

Who wouldn’t dump stock if they knew they could lose $700k. Funny this guy resigns but the Biden’s of the world walk unscathed.

On a political roll, Virginia Democrats now awash in scandal

Here you are GOPLeader , another successful 'witch hunt' ending with capture and hopefully incarceration.

So he's actually owning his conduct. Better than any Democrat in any similar situation.

Bahhh bye

Not surprise at this long time coming!

Wonder if potus backed his election campaign?

The swampy GOP contkjuesbto sink. They could redeem themselves by stopping realDonaldTrump’s corruption.

Trump should also plead guilty.. Trump manipulated his stock and played with the stock market with impunity.

Keep this same energy when it's time for indictments in the DNC
