Exclusive: GOP lawmaker talked stocks with colleagues
Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) has boasted about how much money he’s made for other members of Congress by tipping them off to an Australia-based pharmaceutical company in which he is the largest stockholder, two GOP lawmakers told The Hill.
Collins, President Trump’s chief defender and unofficial spokesman on Capitol Hill, told a group of House GOP colleagues over dinner earlier this year that he had urged colleagues to invest in Innate Immunotherapeutics and made them plenty of money in the process, said one GOP lawmaker who was present for the conversation.
“He said that he’s made members money,” the GOP lawmaker told The Hill.
“Members of Congress?” a reporter asked.
“Yeah, on his stock tip,” the lawmaker replied.
