A Democratic super PAC plans to use a mobile billboard to target Sen. Susan Collins
Susan Margaret CollinsGraham on impeachment trial: 'End this crap as quickly as possible' Collins questions delay on Lev Parnas documents Senate impeachment trial rules call for vote on witnesses, but no motion to dismiss MORE (R-Maine) when the impeachment trial kicks off in earnest next week in the Senate.
The Party Majority PAC is raising money to have the billboard stationed near the Senate office buildings in Washington, D.C., starting Tuesday, with the truck broadcasting remarks that Collins made during President Clinton's impeachment trial in 1999.
"I think we'll have the funding for the truck in the next hour," Adam Parkhomenko, a Democratic strategist, told The Hill on Thursday afternoon. "Our plan is to have the truck running on Tuesday for as long as we can."

Parkhomenko posted a video on Twitter of Collins calling for "more evidence" and "witnesses" during the Clinton trial, with the GOP senator saying it was needed to "get to the truth" and to answer the Senate's "duty to do impartial justice."
So folks are aware: mobile billboards are banned in Maine. So we are going to humiliate Susan Collins in front of her colleagues instead https://t.co/JKLm0Dqhj0

The GOP senator delivered the remarks in January 1999, when the Senate was debating whether to introduce new witnesses and evidence during Clinton's trial in the upper chamber.

Collins, a potential swing vote in the Senate trial involving President Trump

The senator suggested that House lawmakers "did an incomplete job" by only recently releasing the materials from Soviet-born businessman Lev Parnes.
"I do think that, as I said, it's important that we have an up-or-down vote on the issue of subpoenaing witnesses and documents," Collins said.

Trump on Thursday denied having spoken with Parnas.
If the Democratic super PAC's fundraiser is successful, a billboard truck will be stationed near the Senate offices blasting clips of Collins asking for witness testimonies against Clinton.
The truck is part of Democrats' efforts to push the GOP to have witnesses for the Senate trial, demands that Republicans have so far rebuffed.
In addition to the Clinton trial footage, Parkhomenko mentioned that he would like to show older footage, such as the confirmation of Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh
