Critics condemn Chris Collins presidential pardon; former colleague defends it

PHOTO COURTESY OF WBFO Chris Collins. Former western New York Congressman Chris Collins has been released from a federal prison in Florida after President Donald Trump pardoned him Tuesday.

The Republican helped his son and others avoid stock market losses when Collins learned that an Australian biotech company s drug trial had failed. Former assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Bruce said the presidential pardon means Collins is no longer a convicted felon and his civil rights are fully restored.
