"Montana GOP Senate Candidate Admits to Lying About Gunshot Wound to Ranger in 2015"

Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy admitted to lying to a ranger about a 2015 gunshot wound, claiming he made up the story to protect himself and his former platoonmates from a potential military investigation into an old bullet wound he said he got in Afghanistan. Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, has given inconsistent accounts of being shot while deployed and faces scrutiny over his claims. The revelation has raised questions about his credibility as he campaigns for a U.S. Senate seat in Montana, a race that could determine control of the chamber.
