KEILAR: Breaking news, New York Republican Representative Chris Collins resigned from Congress today. Court papers show he'll plead guilty tomorrow to federal charges arising from an insider trading investigation. Let's go to CNN's Brynn Gingras. She is in New York. Tell us about what's happening here.</s>GINGRAS: Yes, Brianna. A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office says they did receive a resignation letter from Collins, and it will be effective tomorrow when it's addressed on the House floor. And as to the criminal case, it's unclear what charges Collins will plead guilty to tomorrow. But if you remember, in August 2018, federal prosecutors accused him of giving inside trading information about an Australian biopharmaceutical company. Collins served on the board of that company and essentially gave a heads up to his son and an associate when the drug failed an important drug trial, allowing them to dump stock according to prosecutors. And even when the charges came down against Collins, his son and an associate, Collins was defiant. He even held a press conference, if you remember, with his wife by his side, saying he was going to fight the charges. He pleaded not guilty twice to the original indictment. And then when the charges were recently advised -- revised, rather, Collins remained adamant that he was going to win his congressional district again in the 2018 election, which he did win re-election even with the indictment hanging over his head. And keep in mind, as you said, Brianna, before, Collins represents a district in upstate New York. It's a heavily red district. Collins was the first sitting congressman to endorse President Trump during the 2016 election. But clearly, he's having a change of heart now about this case. He's set to plead guilty tomorrow. His son and an associate are expected to follow suit later this week, Brianna.</s>KEILAR: Wow. Brynn Gingras, thank you so much for that. And coming up, John Bolton, unvarnished. That is how President Trump's fired national security adviser labeled his first public speech today since leaving the White House.
