Republican senators seize on House manager Rep. Schiff's retelling of report about 'head on a pike' remark during impeachment trial Friday.
On Saturday, Collins told NBC News,"I was very surprised. No one's made any such threat. None of my colleagues had heard of it...I was offended because it wasn’t true."
It wasn't immediately clear what impact, if any, Schiff's comment would have on upcoming votes on witnesses and the ultimate question of whether Trump should be removed from office. Democrats need support from at least four Republicans to win a vote on calling witnesses, and Schiff's arguments over three days were clearly aimed at persuadable GOP senators.
