These allegations were thoroughly investigated by the Biden Department of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, and all of them said they were utterly false.

Why we checked itCollins asserts multiple federal bodies investigated and cleared her of allegations — verifiable whether such investigations occurred and what their conclusions were.
What we foundThe DOJ/FBI's earlier investigation (circa 2021) did produce a statement that nothing implicating Collins was found, but the FEC did not issue a clear finding — it deadlocked 3-3 — and a subsequent broader bribery probe was not concluded under Biden but was shut down under Trump in 2025, making the claim that all investigations found the allegations 'utterly false' an overstatement.
