Congressman Chris Collins Insider Trading Indictment
Republican Congressman Chris Collins was indicted on insider trading charges related to an Australian pharmaceutical company, Innate Immunotherapeutics. Collins allegedly tipped off his son about failed drug trial results, allowing family members to avoid $768,000 in losses. The hosts distinguished this from the legal "insider trading" often practiced by members of Congress through committee knowledge.
