Sen. Fetterman Denies Neglect Claims

Sen. John Fetterman rejected allegations from former aides that he has neglected core Senate duties, calling the claims a “hit piece” by “disgruntled staffers” and saying they relied on “lies, half truths, innuendoes, smears and anonymous” accounts. The allegations center on text messages in which the Pennsylvania Democrat appeared reluctant to meet constituents, attend committee work and go to a funeral for three slain York County police officers. A group identifying itself as former Fetterman campaign and Senate staffers said more details would follow, calling the report “just the tip of the iceberg.”
