“In a private meeting Tuesday with some Senate Democrats, Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner attempted to quell growing concerns from some in the party that a string of negative revelations about his life had jeopardized his candidacy,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Sen. Bernie Sanders asked Platner if any additional allegations would emerge against the embattled Democratic candidate… Platner said there weren’t any.”

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who also attended the meeting, followed up and said there is a big difference between marital issues and allegations of sexual assault… Platner agreed and denied any credible allegations of assault were forthcoming.”

Explained Platner: “It’s not a secret I’ve had a messy, complicated life. The worst of the rumors we’ve all heard are not true.”
