The 89-year-old senator was absent from the Senate for nearly three months while recovering from the shingles virus. Since her return, she has been using a wheelchair and has kept a more limited schedule than before.<\/p>\n<h3>Retiring Senator Denies Absence<\/h3>\n<p>Feinstein had just voted against a measure that would have nullified some D.C. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-county-residents-launch-recall-effort-against-district-attorney\/\" title=\"Los Angeles County residents launch recall effort against district attorney\">criminal justice reforms<\/a> when the reporter approached her.

However, when the reporter asked about her recent return to the Senate and whether her colleagues had offered well-wishes, the interview took a turn.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein denied being absent and insisted that she had been working and voting. The reporter assumed that the senator meant she had been working from home, but Feinstein insisted that she had not been gone at all.
