Danny Kedem, the young operative who joined Weiner’s campaign in late spring when the former congressman announced his candidacy, departed the effort at the end of last week, a source familiar with the move confirmed. The news was first reported by the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro.

Kedem’s departure is significant less in terms of day-to-day impact – Weiner is notorious for micromanaging his own races and the team was already quite thin – than for the public-relations effect after a fresh bout of scandal…

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Kedem knew about the details of the latest revelations involving Weiner before they were made public by an Arizona-based website called TheDirty.com.
