Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific number of billionaire donors attributed to Collins — verifiable against campaign finance records.
What we foundThe core fact — that a large number of billionaires donated to Collins — is well-documented, but the specific figure of 'ninety' does not match the most precise available data: the count is 79 billionaires alone, 97 including spouses, or 111 using updated FEC data.
