It is much worse than the introduction reveals.

I disagree; she must act for herself, her children, and the public.

What's going on here must be dealt with honesty, and it appears Adam Jentleson wants to do just that. So why in the world would he lie about the situation? Where is the Democratic leadership to bring objective eyes to this mess?

In a statement, Gisele suggested Jentleson was part of a conspiracy to damage her husband’s reputation, saying Jentleson fed her “scary, untrue stories about John’s health.” She added, “I would talk to John’s doctors about what Adam was telling me and they would be confused. Those doctors would tell me that their concerns were not with John, but with Adam. Any alleged ‘concerns’ heard from me came straight from those lies, not from John’s doctors or my own eyes.” In response, Jentleson said, “I stand by everything I said, and I hope Senator Fetterman gets the help he needs.”
