Platner adviser warned aide about sexting reports amid campaign turbulence

A campaign adviser for Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner warned a former aide that media stories about sexually explicit messages Platner sent to women could be framed as personal betrayal and sabotage. The warning, relayed through intermediaries, followed reports by major outlets and came as staffers resigned amid controversy, all while Platner moves toward a June primary to face Susan Collins.
