“Specifically, police looked into concerns about their daughter’s broken collarbone and bruised shoulder while the congressman was watching her.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
Although the topic (broken collarbone/bruised shoulder) is central to the claims, the specific claim that 'police looked into concerns about their daughter's broken collarbone and bruised shoulder *while the congressman was watching her*' is not directly supported by unique, corroborating evidence in the provided search results. The evidence confirms the *allegation* was made, but not the specific police finding described here.
