Pelosi calls on embattled Collins to resign: 'No person is above the law'
By Emily Birnbaum - 08/11/18 03:02 PM EDT House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday called for the resignation of Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), who is facing charges of insider trading.
"[House] Speaker [Paul] Ryan (R-Wis.) must call on Congressman Collins to resign," Pelosi said in a statement. "No person is above the law, not the President nor his first supporter in Congress."
Collins, an ally of President Trump's, announced Saturday that he will not seek reelection as he mounts a defense against the Justice Department's multiple charges of securities fraud and lying to the FBI.
