FILE - In this March 16, 2016 file photo, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. Collins is the latest Republican to reject GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments about the ethnic background of an American federal judge. Trump is insisting that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose parents were born in Mexico, cannot be impartial overseeing the class action lawsuits against Trump University. Curiel’s ethnicity, Trump says, puts him in conflict with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s plan to build a wall with Mexico. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
