WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein pushed back Thursday on a news report that renewed questions about her age and capacity to fulfill the job responsibilities of the Senate.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that four senators — including three Democrats — and one Democratic House member said that Feinstein’s memory is rapidly deteriorating and that it appears she can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff. Three former Feinstein staffers made similar claims.
None of them agreed to be identified, but the story comes after two years of chatter on Capitol Hill about Feinstein’s mental capacity to do her job.
