Colbert on Chris Collins’ Indictment: Supporting Trump Is Another Con Job He’s Involved In

RUSH EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Today, congressman Collins was indicted on insider trading charges. Insider trading is the whitest of all white collar crimes— if you don’t count conspiracy to wear khakis to a Jimmy buffet concert. Now, Collins is on the board of a pharmaceutical company, and he found out before the public that their biggest new drug failed a clinical trial. And now he’s accused of passing that information on to his son, prompting the son and others to sell 1.78 million shares shortly before the bad news was made public. One of the reasons this is getting so much attention is that back in 2016, Collins was the first member of Congress to back Donald Trump. So it’s not the first time he’s been part of a massive con job."
