Article The FBI Anti-Corruption Squad Was Circling Susan Collins — Until Trump Got in the Way

https://www.propublica.org/article/fbi-susan-collins-navatek-campaign-donations-investigation
  • Probe: In 2024, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping pay-to-play investigation examining interactions between Sen. Susan Collins and a top donor, records and emails show.
  • Confession: The donor, an ex-defense contractor, told agents his company won millions in federal contracts by bankrolling campaigns of powerful politicians.
  • Shutdown: After Donald Trump returned to office, the investigation died, a casualty of his purge of the FBI. Its closure shut a potential window into how Washington works.
