Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., has been arrested on insider trading charges lodged by the Justice Department, law enforcement officials said Wednesday morning.

The indictment obtained from a federal grand jury also charges Collins' son, Cameron Collins, as well as the father of his fiancee, Stephen Zarsky.

The indictment relates to "securities of Innate Immunotherapeutics ... an Australian biotechnology company on whose board of directors Christopher Collins served," the DOJ said.

Collins passed nonpublic information about Innate's drug trial results to his son in order to help him "make timely trades in Innate stock and tip others," the indictment alleges.

When Louise Slaughter (D-NY) exposed his likely illegal actions last year, Collins (in typical Trump fashion) called her a "despicable human being."

This lowlife was the first Congresscritter to endorse the Lying Dotard and became the Dotard's liaison to Congress during his campaign. Does the corruption surrounding the Lying Dotard ever stop?
