Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman received a wave of criticism Wednesday after releasing a letter written by his primary care physician who has also donated to Fetterman's campaign, according to public records.
Fetterman's team released a letter Wednesday written by Dr. Clifford Chen, a family practice physician, after Chen had met with Fetterman on Friday. According to the letter, Chen said Fetterman was recovering well after suffering a life-altering stroke in May, and said the Democratic candidate could "work full duty in public office."
According to public records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Chen has donated $1,330 to Fetterman's campaign, most recently contributing $100 September 23 to "Fetterman for PA."
