Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's daughter, Katherine, a former San Francisco judge, has a power-of-attorney agreement that grants her at least some say over the senator's affairs.
Last month, the younger Feinstein, now a San Francisco fire commissioner, filed a suit against the trust of the investor Richard Blum, the senator's late husband. In the legal filing, she identified herself as an "attorney in fact" for the Democratic lawmaker. The agreement allowed the former judge to file the suit on behalf of her mother.
It's unclear to what extent the younger Feinstein holds power over the 90-year-old lawmaker.
...
The New York Times, which reported extensively on the fight over Blum's trust, reported that Katherine Feinstein "has power of attorney over her mother's legal affairs." A spokesperson for Dianne Feinstein's Senate office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The senator has faced calls to resign from Congress because of persistent questions about her ability to fully serve as a senator. She missed nearly three months of congressional business in Washington after contracting shingles. She has also had multiple episodes where she appeared openly confused and unaware of what was taking place, including during a recent Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
The younger Feinstein's lawsuit cited "significant medical expenses" her mother had incurred. The suit seeks to make her the sole trustee as her mother's replacement. The Feinsteins allege that two of Blum's associates who are acting as trustees have refused to reimburse the senator's medical expenses.

Oh really? Does that mean she gets to vote for her in the Senate too? I shouldn’t even ask that since she’s a democrat should I?
“She has also had multiple episodes where she appeared openly confused and unaware of what was taking place...”
Well, then she’s ready to be the Socialist Democrat Nominee for President in 2024!
*SNORT*
Yet, she is still a sitting senator. Well, she’s still on par with the vast majority of them.
POA “over her” misstates it somewhat. POA in service of her, handling things she is unable to handle, is more accurate.
DNR???
Democrats vote by herd.
How in the world does a U.S. Senator have unpaid medical expenses? I've always thought their medical insurance was enviable coverage.
A Power of Attorney is not a blanket...Mine is very specific.....and contains about 20 conditions where it can be used.
She is up for reelection in 2024 but has declined. So we’ll finally be rid of her.
But then, Richard Schiff is going to run for her seat and that’s just scary as hell.
I doubt that...unless he is second to Doctor (not) Jill.
I’d they cremate her, how can I piss on her grave?
Good point, but the line would be so long you might not get a chance anyway
She probably has so much alcohol in her that she would burn the crematorium to the slab.
*** Hunter has POA over Joe, too. ***
The new Senator from Pennsylvania has POA over Biden.
I think they’re talking about her husband’s estate not paying the out of pocket expenses- not the insurance cimpany. But I may be reading it wrong- waiting for coffee to brew lol.
