Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) was arrested and indicted on federal insider trading charges Wednesday.
The charges, brought by the Manhattan U.S. Attorneys office, relate to securities of Innate Immunotherapeutics, an Australian biotechnology company on whose board Collins served.
Collins son Cameron and Stephen Zarsky, the father of Cameron Collins fiancée, were also listed as defendants.
Collins was the first congressman to endorse Donald Trumps 2016 presidential campaign, and has been a loyal defender of Trumps agenda on Capitol Hill.
