Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, was briefly hospitalized in California after suffering a fall in her San Francisco home, Fox News has confirmed.
"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," a spokesperson for the senator said in a statement.
The 90-year-old has suffered from extensive health issues for more than a year, leading many to wonder about her fitness for office.
Since her return to the Senate earlier this summer, there have been multiple instances in which Feinstein appeared to be confused about what she was doing and what her responsibilities were during hearings.
