Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee after California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna called for her to step aside, saying she's no longer fit to serve.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California asked Wednesday to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee, shortly after two House Democrats called on her to resign amid her extended absence from Washington.
"I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it's safe for me to travel," Feinstein said. "In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco." The senator is said to be at home in San Francisco recovering after a stay in the hospital, but a date has not been set for her return.
