Overview

Dianne Goldman Berman Feinstein served as a U.S. Senator from California from 1992 until her death in 2023 at age 90. Her final years in office were marked by severe cognitive decline that was covered up by her staff and colleagues. Reporters documented that she could not recognize colleagues she had worked with for decades, repeated questions within minutes, and required staff to guide her through votes. Despite this, she held a critical seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, single-handedly delaying judicial confirmations during a months-long absence in 2023. Her husband Richard Blum's investment firm, CBRE Group, received billions in government contracts while Feinstein sat on committees overseeing those agencies. Feinstein's Chinese-American driver was discovered in 2018 to have been reporting to China's Ministry of State Security for approximately 20 years.
