Senator Dianne Feinstein, the oldest member of Congress who has been beset with serious health problems, is suing the estate of her late husband, arguing she's being denied payments for 'significant' medical bills.
Feinstein, 90, was born in 1933 and has held her seat in the Senate representing California for nearly 31 years.
Her reputation has begun to sour as the ailing senator clings to power despite apparent cognitive decline and absence that led to a backlog of judge confirmations through the Judiciary Committee.

“Ailing senator clings to power..”
Is she clinging, or members of her staff and/or family clinging?
What is it with the dodgy communists (Xiden, Pelosi, Feinstein et al) who won’t let go? Power means that much.

This makes no sense. A woman worth $58 million, who has access to health care coverage for US Senators, needs to sue the estate to get money to pay medical bills. I don’t get it. Something else is going on.
If this is just a misunderstanding between two parties, why wouldn’t the estate plan people work it out rather than go public with a lawsuit? Something else is going on.

This doesn't make much sense. Surely the senator has amassed enough money to pay her bills? Don't the members of the Senate have very good health care?
I have SO many differences with Sen. Feinstein, but seeing her so ill and unaware is pitiful.

It seems as if her daughter wants to take control of her and her finances. That would give her direct access to the $58 million her mother is reportedly worth.

She could probably get better healthcare in China as payback for all the secrets she passed along to the CCP.

#2 is on to the game. This is about the daughter gaining power of attorney over Feinstein’s estate.

El Rushbo right again. Anytime there's $ in the story, remember what Rush said:Follow the money. Posters #7 and #2 know what's going on. Feinstein's daughter is on a money-grab.

Maybe the old gal doesn't want to pay her medical bills in yuan and give up her game?

Come on. Politicians never want to spend their own money. They’re used to freebies from everyone. This old gal still has enough brain power to know something is up. Fight on, Diane.

Before I condemn her daughter for wanting power of attorney, I have to look at Feinstein and say wonder if she is mentally capable of attending to her own finances.
IMO she isn't and even more important if she is incapable of handling her own finances WT flying F is she doing in the Senate.

The $$'s in the trust are intended for Sen. Feinstein's use only until her death. THEN, they revert to her deceased husband's children/heirs. This is common setup to preserve children's original inheritance when 2nd marriages occur. Blum's children are from prior marriage. Feinstein's daughter is also from her prior marriage and is seemingly using this ploy to gain interim access to the trust funds before Feinstein kicks the bucket. And so it goes......

That is ridiculous! She has Medicare and more than likely coverage as a Senator. With all the money she made in Washington it is the last thing she should be fretting about.

Anybody with a degree of financial acumen can see what’s going on here. Feinstein’s daughter wants not only her mother’s money; she wants her stepfather’s money too, at the expense of his children. I’ll bet Di Fi doesn’t even know about this lawsuit. She can barely figure out where she is half the time. The daughter has to get this con finished before Feinstein assumes room temperature, and the daughter knows that ain’t gonna be long.
A pox on both their houses. Feinstein and her daughter remind me of another Shakespeare quote: “If she lives till doomsday, she’ll burn a week longer than the rest of the world.”

Feinstein probably demanded the "Presidential suite" at the hospital where she stayed as a "guest" for several weeks. (After all, Teddy Kennedy always got the poshest suite at MGH in Botson.)
Obviously Feinstein's family wishes she had stayed in a bed amongst the hoi polloi, where lots of new arrivals from south of the Border are patients.
And it seems this explains her return to DC, a friendlier place...

Her daughter Katherine is doing the suing, contending that she is her mother’s attorney-in-fact. There is no power of attorney between Feinstein and her daughter and questions as to why a sitting member of the Senate would need an attorney-in-fact. The trust administrators say they have never denied Feinstein anything.
Daughter Katherine trying to pull off a power play to gain control of her stepfaher’s trust? I’d put money on it.

$58M can buy a lot of healthcare. Sounds like she did not have her estate in the best of order greed has taken over.

This article and these comments are the first I have read about this 'tempest in a teapot'.
My opinion of Feinstein, like Pee-Lousey, is such that I hope the squabblers will both hire the most expensive lawyers they can find, and fight until the lawyers wind up with all the Cash.

Karma really is a you know what. Also #2 is right one it. As with all corrupt enterprises you just follow the money. Ancient evil golem Dianne Feinstein's daughter Kathy wants access to all of her moms' ill-gotten gains.

As others have posted, this can’t be about medical bills. Feinstein has gold-plated medical coverage as a US Senator. It’s got to be about control of her money.
