Washington Federal prosecutors on Monday recommended that former New York Rep. Chris Collins, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in an insider trading case, be sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
The recommendation comes as Collins, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and making false statements in October, is set to be sentenced on Friday. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Collins, who was the first sitting congressman to support President Donald Trump's bid for the White House, resigned from Congress ahead of the guilty plea.
