Fetterman Fires Aide Over Leaked Medical Records

Senator John Fetterman has responded to concerns about his mental health, citing a New York Magazine article that he believes is a "hit piece" with anonymous sources. In December 2023, Fetterman's former chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, took action that compromised his confidential medical records, prompting Fetterman to sever access for Jentleson. Fetterman has been open about his past struggles with depression and a stroke, which he recovered from after suffering the attack in May 2022. The article also mentions Fetterman's support for Israel, which has sparked criticism from some of his progressive supporters, including former campaign officials who wrote an anonymous letter expressing their disappointment.
