Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific temporal claim central to Collins's defense that the research proposal preceded any donations, which if false would suggest a pay-to-play arrangement.
What we foundThe documented timeline is broadly consistent with Collins's claim of 'a year and a half,' but the evidence comes from the Collins campaign's own records and FEC filings, not from a fully independent corroboration of the submission date.
