From the New Yorker, apparently ......
" Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, also declined an offer to meet with the alleged victim.”
https://politicalwire.com/2025/01/14/ernst-and-collins-refused-to-meet-hegseths-rape-accuser/

And from the Twotter acct of the distinguished "moderate Republican" Senator from Maine ......
"Sen. Susan Collins
@SenatorCollins
Contrary to the assertion in the New Yorker article, I never turned down a meeting with Mr. Hegseth’s accuser.
I was never contacted by her or her attorney."

It is hilarious that people considered the possibility that any of the nominations would be tanked when it came time to actually vote. More hilarious that everyone on the Hill obviously personally hated Matt Gaetz or else he would have been approved as well.

It is hilarious when the Twitter refutes the New Yorker.

Have to agree.  I thought Gabbard was the most vulnerable of the Trump nominations, but she'll get through.  As long as Republicans in Congress remain terrified of the consequences to their careers and their families’ lives if they defy Trump, they won’t push back on anything he wants.

Lots of interesting reading here;

https://www.propublica.org/article/a-short-history-of-threats-received-by-donald-trumps-opponents

Obviously, there are other sides to the story. Still, Trump is very public about denigrating anyone who gets in his way. It appears he might use others to privately threaten their families.

I'm thinking The New Yorker is saying that is a "fake denial."

What Collins has said ....
An intermediary contacted her.
They were told she would think about a meeting with the accuser or her lawyer.
They were told the lawyer or the accuser should contact the committee doing the confirmation hearing. Collins is not a member of the Armed Services Committee.
Collins says she never heard back.

'I'll think about it' and the suggestion to contact the confirmation hearing committee instead and not hearing back from the intermediary, the accuser or her lawyer doesn't come across as a declination.
