Collins delivered these remarks on Jan. 27, 1999, during Clinton’s Senate trial, at a time when the Senate was debating whether to introduce new witnesses and evidence. AD“I am willing to travel the road wherever it leads, whether it’s to the conviction or the acquittal of the president,” Collins said.
