![🚨NEW: Drop Site journalist Ryan Grim has authenticated behind-the-scenes messages showing Politico omitted an important detail from its reporting on how the night began that led to the rape allegations against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Before publication, a Politico reporter told the Platner campaign that Jenny Racicot, on the night in question, had been “texting [Platner] about needing her glute massaged.” The reporter added, “That detail didn’t make our story.” Racicot told Jake Tapper during her CNN interview that Platner had “taken something that I said as an invitation” before she subsequently texted him not to come over. Tapper did not follow up to ask what the content of the message was, and did not respond to a request for comment from Drop Site. Politico, in a statement to Drop Site, did not dispute that the outlet was aware of the “glute masssage” text, and said that it would update its reporting if further information arose. According to a spokesperson: “This story is based on extensive reporting and interviews and reflects our editorial standards. In interviews with us and in accounts she gave to other outlets, Jenny Racicot said that she told Graham Platner not to come to her home and that he nevertheless showed up there uninvited. POLITICO gave Platner and his campaign ample opportunity to respond to our reporting and to provide any information or documentation they believed contradicted it. If presented with information that materially challenges our reporting, we will report it.” Platner is expected to drop out today. 🎥 Ryan Grim | Saagar Enjeti via Breaking Points](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2074897688139555147/amplify_video_thumb/2074895129031139328/img/qEsYNIzftYynh2_K.jpg)
![Podhoretz: Morris Katz—the political strategist who recruited Graham Platner—gets 15% of the money raised for Platner's campaign. "The [Democratic] Party is dead, these firms, these consultants, are now the party. What Katz is looking for is someone he can raise money off of." "They're raising money hand over fist and he gets 15% of that money. His incentive is not to like do a forensic audit of Platner to make sure he's a pristine candidate." (This was recorded yesterday before Platner announced he was ending his campaign.)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2075036200784576573/amplify_video_thumb/2075033801722355712/img/Smf736RGWH_cvI53.jpg)
