Story highlights The first congressman to back Trump says he agrees with the FBI director's decision

Collins told Wolf Blitzer that while Clinton's actions may not have been intended, they show poor judgment

(CNN) Rep. Chris Collins, R-New York, said Tuesday he agrees with FBI Director James Comey's decision to not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server at the State Department.

Collins, the first member of Congress to back Donald Trump, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" that on the FBI's decision, he agrees with Comey -- not Trump.

"Director Comey is one of the better appointments that President Obama has made and I accept what he said that while her actions may not have been intended, it shows extremely poor judgment," Collins said.

That marks a stark contrast with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's response on Twitter, where he declared "the system is rigged" and called the decision "very very unfair."

In a subsequent tweet, Trump wrote: "FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem."
