senator John FettmanD-Pa. A clash with a CNN reporter on Tuesday, he questioned whether he was going to resign because he had severe allegations of his health in a report in a New York magazine.
The report was published last Friday in intelligence personnel in New York Magazine, where comments from former and current staff claimed that the senator showed unstable behavior when questioning his office adaptation.
Fetterman suffered a massive stroke in May 2022 and was treated for depression in February 2023, and he repeatedly viewed the report as a "hot single" grated by an unhappy employee with an axe.
He clashed with CNN's Manu Raju on Tuesday after reporters asked the senator if he was taking medication and whether he planned to stay in office.

"Your struggle against depression has been public, Senator," Raju said. "And you have a prescription drug that you can accept.
NBC reporters also faced Fetterman with his drug use earlier on Tuesday.
Fetterman told CNN that his doctor said he did "awesome" and then returned to the exit where there was a "invasive" problem.
"It's incredibly invasive," he told Raju. "Why do people talk about anybody's personal medical stuff? I think most people would agree that it's really invasive."

The New York Magazine report featured largely anecdotes of anonymous employees, which also included record comments from some former staff members, including Adam Jentleson, formerly-class president of Fetterman. Jentleson was allegedly worried about the senator's mental health that he wrote an email to a doctor last year who treated him at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, outlining his concerns, including that Fetterman reportedly did not take medication.
Fetterman reiterated to CNN that the report was incited by "discontented" employees of the "Agenda".
"It's no, no, he has a weird resentment and he threatens to do it for a while. If you're really worried about someone, you can say, 'Hey, let's sit down, can we talk?' It's not going to the media, which is why a guy with an agenda is like a hit song.
CNN also urged Fetterman to report allegations that he was "reckless" driving, which the senator dismissed.
"There is no news about these things," he told CNN. "It was an accident."

Raju then asked Fetterman if he planned to "serve (his) the entire semester in the Senate."
"Come on," Fettman laughed. "Of course. Obviously. Obviously. Everyone knows I'm treated for depression."

A spokesperson for NY MAG defended their report in a statement to Fox News Digital:
"This story is strictly reported and fact-checked and based on information from many sources working with Senator Fetterman and the Senator himself."
