This part matches the article linked:
Republican Sen. Susan Collins has accepted millions in campaign cash from wealthy donors and powerful figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein—an awkward revelation as she fights to hold on to her Senate seat in the midterms.
Federal filings show that Collins and her political committees have spent years taking money from people with ties to the notorious child sex trafficker, including Jay Lefkowitz, the lawyer who helped secure Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal, and Trump ally Leon Black, who paid Epstein $158 million for “tax, estate planning, and other related services.”
In a story about a different one:
US House Rep. Ashley Hinson, now running in a tight US Senate race to represent Iowa, accepted donations from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Blackwater CEO Stephen Schwarzman, and private capital billionaire Marc Rowan, among others, all of whom were named in the Epstein files dozens—and some even hundreds—of times.
The Trump-endorsed candidate and her PACs accepted nearly $90,000 from these donors over three campaigns. This includes $30,500 during the period in which she helped delay the release of the files, according to campaign finance records from the Federal Election Commission reviewed by the Beast.
Nearly $22,000 was accepted by Hinson’s current Senate campaign, nearly $29,000 to her two congressional campaigns, and over $35,000 to two PACs sponsored by Hinson: Fight On PAC and the Ashley Hinson Victory Committee.
I explain it above and in the body of the link. There are 2 different people, one House and one Senate, but both are trying to get into the Senate.
