Chris Collins’ Alleged Corruption Took Place at the White House – Trump Cabinet Secretary Was Under Investigation Over Same Stock

Former Trump HHS Secretary Tom Price Reportedly Made More Than $225,000 on Collins' Australian Stock

Republican U.S. Congressman Chris Collins of New York has been arrested by the FBI on securities fraud charges, including insider trading, wire fraud, conspiracy, and lying to federal agents. Collins made "a flurry of phone calls" to his son while at a Congressional picnic at the White House, NBC News reports, citing the federal indictment.

Collins, who was the first member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump, previously had been under scrutiny by the House Ethics Committee. That investigation revealed he had convinced former Trump Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price to buy shares of the Australian pharmaceutical company for which Collins is now charged with insider trading.

"Collins — who has repeatedly denied any improper or unethical behavior — is on the board of Innate and is its biggest stockholder, having invested at least $6 million in the firm," Politico reported last October. "His children own a block of Innate shares too."

Wednesday morning Collins was arrested, along with his son, and the father of his son's fiancée.

"Collins," the October Politico story continued, "has pushed the company's stock to former HHS Secretary and one-time House colleague Tom Price, other lawmakers and officials in Buffalo, N.Y. Collins was once overheard bragging on the phone in the House Speaker's Lobby about 'how many millionaires I’ve made in Buffalo the past few months.' Price made more than $225,000 in his Innate stock trades, according to public records."
