The daughter of California Senator Dianne Feinstein has power of attorney over the sitting senator’s legal affairs.
The New York Times reports the 90-year-old lawmaker’s daughter Katherine Feinstein is currently in a legal battle with the daughters of her mother’s late husband.
The senator’s decision to delegate management of her affairs comes amid questions over whether Feinstein is fit for office due to her age.
Last week, a hot mic caught the senator appearing confused during a routine committee proceeding, in which an aide had to instruct her to vote during a roll call vote.
