The panel set a Jan. 5, 2026 deadline to announce next steps, with the scope still undisclosed.

  • The committee said it extended a matter that was referred on Oct. 7 by the Office of Congressional Conduct.
  • The public notice identifies both Rep. Mike Collins and chief of staff Brandon Phillips as subjects of the review.
  • The panel emphasized that an extension and name disclosure are not findings of misconduct or evidence of a violation.
  • The specific allegations have not been made public in committee filings or outside reporting.
  • Collins’ campaign, which is pursuing a 2026 Senate run, dismissed the complaint as a baseless political attack as outside observers note his heavy cryptocurrency trading.
