Scoop: Fetterman chief of staff departing

Sen. John Fetterman's (D-Pa.) chief of staff will soon leave his office, Axios has learned. Why it matters: It continues a string of staff departures following reports of internal concerns about Fetterman's mental health and job performance. Krysta Sinclair Juris' decision to leave her role as chief of staff was announced internally Tuesday, we are told. Cabelle St. John, Fetterman's deputy chief of staff, will take over for Juris, who succeeded Adam Jentleson as chief of staff last year. Jentleson publicly voiced his concerns about his former boss in a bombshell New York Magazine story last month.The big picture: Fetterman on Monday defended his job performance, accusing the media of a "smear" campaign against him."I'm here. I'm doing that job," Fetterman said at an event in Boston. He brushed aside concerns about his missed vote record, arguing he has skipped out on "throwaway procedural votes."What he saying: "Cabelle St. John has been a trusted advisor since day 1 in the office. I'm lucky to have her taking over as my Chief of Staff and I'm confident she'll do a great job," Fetterman said in a statement.He added, "I'm grateful for Krysta's work. She's been an invaluable member of the team for over two years and I wish her all the best." Editor's note: This story has been updated with additional reporting.
