Collins, the first sitting congressman to back President Donald Trump's bid for the White House, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and making false statements. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison."I regret my actions beyond anything that I could explain here today," Collins said in court.
