On Tuesday, New York Times reporter Ken Vogel flagged a search warrant that appeared to suggest the FBI is investigating a defense contractor's contributions to the campaign and super PAC of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).

The contractor in question, Martin Defense Group, reportedly has operations in Maine. The warrant, executed on the phones of two executives of the company, is looking into whether these executives made unlawful contributions to both Collins' campaign and 1820 PAC, the super PAC that independently supports her.

As of Tuesday, there does not appear to be any evidence that Collins herself knew about or encouraged the illegal activity.
