Sen. Jon Ossoff zeroed in on an ethics review hanging over Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins — and pressed him over why he declined to testify.

Collins has denied wrongdoing. The exchange was one of several deeply personal clashes in their first televised debate ahead of Georgia’s U.S. Senate election.
