Per the WSJ, regarding Platner's trip to DC yesterday:

"Massachusetts 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, the people said. Platner agreed and denied any credible allegations of assault were forthcoming."

Per Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief Steve Robinson after speaking with sources close to the situation:

"Graham Platner’s campaign is now aware of the severity of the next round of information that will come out. Worse than N**i tattoo. Worse than Reddit. Worse than ‘Predator’s Paradise.’

The emergency trip home had nothing to do with reporters at the house his dad gave him. This is the DEFCON 1 of damage control."
