Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) resigned from his congressional seat on Sept. 30 one day before he was expected to plead guilty in an insider trading case.

Collins submitted a resignation letter Monday, according to a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). It will take effect when Congress meets in a brief session on Tuesday.
