Impeachment Juror Susan Collins Has Lunch With Donald Trump [View all]

Maine’s senior senator will be one of the Republicans to meet with President Donald Trump this week as impeachment inquiry hearings continue.
….

Collins, whose seat is expected to be one of the most expensive and competitive next year, has refused to comment on the impeachment hearings, citing her view that she will serve as a juror in the Senate trial, should the House vote that the president should be impeached.

I feel quite certain that Collins will express her deep feelings of concern for Trump's behavior just before she voters to acquit him.
