Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing fresh scrutiny days before the Democratic primary after allegations surfaced that he exchanged sexually explicit text messages with multiple women while married. Now his wife is stepping directly into the political firestorm, accusing media outlets of turning private marital struggles into public spectacle.
Amy Gertner, Platner's wife, released an emotional video over the weekend condemning what she described as 'gossip' surrounding the controversy that has jolted one of the Democrats' most closely watched Senate races.
