Lyndsey Fifield is speaking out against a story published on June 4, 2026, alleging that the reporting on Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner was manipulated. Fifield, who has accused the candidate of physical abuse, said on X that the reporters “methodically delayed and twisted” her account.
She described the final article as “a gift to the Platner campaign,” and claimed the piece left out major allegations of sexual assault against Platner. Her public statement followed the publication of the New York Times piece, which examined claims made against Platner by several women.
