After Graham Platner’s departure from his Senate campaign, activists initiated a campaign to retrieve donations. They aim to prevent these funds from covering legal fees tied to Platner’s alleged misconduct.
The initiative, led by a group called Reckoning Action, collaborates with lawmakers. They seek to establish a mandate that prohibits using campaign contributions for legal costs in sexual misconduct inquiries.
Journalist Liz Landers covered these developments alongside Cheyenne Hunt. Liz Landers is a correspondent with PBS NewsHour. She focuses on the White House and the Trump administration. Before this role, she was the national security correspondent for Scripps News, with reporting also on disinformation for the network.
