Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was briefly hospitalized after falling at her home in San Francisco on Tuesday, her office said, the latest medical setback for the longtime Democratic lawmaker.
“Senator Feinstein briefly went to the hospital yesterday afternoon as a precaution after a minor fall in her home. All of her scans were clear and she returned home,” her office said in a statement Wednesday.
The 90-year-old senator was away from Washington, D.C., for almost three months earlier this year after she was hospitalized with shingles and complications from the disease. She spent weeks recovering at home in California, delaying Senate business. TMZ first reported Feinstein’s latest hospitalization on Wednesday.
The fall comes days after Insider reported that Feinstein has given power of attorney to her daughter, and as some of her colleagues are concerned about her current health and capabilities.
