Claimant: WinSenate
Claim: Sen. Susan Collins “voted to cover up the Epstein files” and Jeffrey Epstein’s “business partner funneled $3 million” to a Collins super PAC.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Collins voted to table a September 2025 Epstein-files amendment attached to a defense bill, saying the provision did not belong there. She had previously supported preserving and reporting on the files and later backed the standalone Epstein Files Transparency Act. Stephen Schwarzman donated $3 million to a pro-Collins PAC, but PolitiFact found no evidence that he and Epstein were business partners. (politifact.com)
