Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's wife has publicly addressed reports about sexually explicit messages her husband allegedly exchanged with other women, saying she feels 'deeply hurt' by the disclosure of private details about their marriage.
The controversy emerged after multiple media outlets reported that Platner's wife, Amy Gerner, informed campaign staff last year about messages she had discovered early in their marriage. According to reports, the information was shared during an internal vetting process as campaign aides assessed potential vulnerabilities that could become public during the Senate race.
