Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner broke his silence over the sexting scandal and slammed the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times for running stories on gossip. The gossip, however, was allegedly provided by her wife Amy Gartner who has now said that it is shameful for the media to spread gossip.

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.

Graham Platner's wife told a campaign aide last summer that she had previously found “sexually explicit texts with several women” on his phone.
