Fetterman chief of staff departing amid office turnover

Sen. John Fetterman’s chief of staff Krysta Juris is departing her role and the office is elevating another adviser to fill the position, the Pennsylvania Democrat said on Tuesday. “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,” Fetterman said in a statement his office provided to CNN. In the statement, he also announced that Cabelle St. John will take on the role, describing her as “a trusted advisor since day 1 in the office.” Fetterman’s office is known to have had notable staff turnover though Juris’ departure, which was first reported by Axios, comes at a time when the senator is facing increased scrutiny. In an interview with CNN last month, Fetterman roundly dismissed allegations that he’s unfit to serve in the Senate, attacking a recent report detailing claims of erratic behavior as a “hit piece” and vowing to serve out his term. The senator pushed back on assertions from former and current staffers published in New York Magazine that he had been exhibiting reckless and volatile behavior. “It’s a one-source hit piece, and it involved maybe two or three and anonymous disgruntled staffers saying just absolute false things,” Fetterman told CNN at the time.
