Rep. Doug Collins said on FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo that House Democrats calling for investigations into how President Trump handled the early days of the coronavirus crisis.



"Why don't we focus on helping the American people? Do like the president has asked. Let's get the money to where it needs to go. Let's help our health care officials. Let's help our hospitals. Let's help businesses get back to work," he said.





MARIA BARTIROMO: Was it too little too late in terms of a stay-in-place order in Georgia, just Friday?



REP. DOUG COLLINS: No. Yes, no, I don't think so.



I think it was coming. Remember, we had a lot of our local counties, municipalities that had already been taking this lead. And the governor had been watching that.



And I think now it just -- it confirms it all over the state. And we are -- Georgians are tough. And we're making headway. And it's still very active in certain areas. But I'm confident our hospitals, our local officials will continue to -- and state officials will keep doing their job.



BARTIROMO: So, Congressman, you have been really showing such leadership on your committee, Judiciary, and, of course, have been dealing with a lot of back and forth with your colleagues on the left.



Now the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, says she wants to investigate President Trump again. This time, she's going to create a commission to investigate the administration's COVID 19 response.



Adam Schiff is proposing a separate 9/11-style commission with subpoena power. They want more subpoena power here on these commissions.



Your reaction? Is this what's going on now in terms of your committees?



COLLINS: You know, if there was a possibility -- that's why I keep my hair short in Congress, Maria, is not pull it out, because every time we turn around, the speaker, Pelosi, Adam Schiff, all they want to do is take any environment they can and turn it to attack the president.



The president is doing a good job. The president is working hard. He's on TV every day. He's talking to the American people every day. He's got his -- Vice President Pence leading the task force, all these leaders leading.



And what do we hear from Speaker Pelosi and now Adam Schiff, is that they want to investigate -- to have these commissions or these 9/11 commissions to investigate the president. That's all they have ever done.



It's sort of amazing. I heard a quote yesterday from Speaker Pelosi. I think she said about this commission that wherever there's money is, there's mischief.



I mean, that's pretty rich coming from basically the speaker who is the pied piper of pork, who tried to put everything into this bill, and was worried about where it's going now.



Why don't we focus on helping the American people? Do like the president has asked. Let's get the money to where it needs to go. Let's help our health care officials. Let's help our hospitals. Let's help businesses get back to work.



Just like you have been talking about on the show this morning, this is something we have got to get through and then recover from.



And just to simply do this out, to attack, and basically say, we're going to follow this president, is just -- it's just randomly of what we have seen in the last year-and-a-half. And it's basically -- and, frankly, it's just painful.
