"Montana Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy's Controversial Gunshot Wound Revelation"

The Washington Post is under fire for quoting experts who cast doubt on the validity of a bullet wound sustained by Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, without disclosing their ties to the Democratic Party. Sheehy, a highly-decorated Iraq war veteran, revealed that he suffered the injury while serving in Afghanistan in 2012, but the Post's report omitted critical information about the experts' political affiliations. The experts, including a trauma surgeon and a military program director, have donated to Democratic candidates and made public comments against former President Donald Trump. The Post defended its reporting, stating that it sought a variety of perspectives for a balanced account.

Kari Lake, a Republican Senate candidate from Arizona, has declined to defend her statements in a defamation case brought by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who sued her for repeatedly making false claims of election malfeasance.

Despite this, Lake has not completely backed down on her election fraud claims and continues to focus on her Senate race.
