Democratic Senators Grill Maine Senate Candidate Over Rumored Domestic Violence Allegations
What was said
"There has been this rumor swirling for a while that there is a big story to come out. What I have heard, and there is no verification that this is the case, and he was asked about it explicitly in this meeting with Democratic senators, even Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have been two very strong backers of Graham Plattner, were pushing him on this, but that there was something to come out around domestic violence."
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Plattner faced intense questioning from senior Democratic senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, about rumored domestic violence allegations expected to surface publicly. Plattner reportedly told senators 'the worst things that you're hearing are not true' but acknowledged having 'a darker, complicated life.' The situation has Democratic leadership concerned about holding the crucial Maine seat, with Plattner canceling interviews and returning home as reporters stake out family locations.
