Feinstein also raised eyebrows when she told reporters in May she "hadn't been gone," despite her lengthy absence, according to the Los Angeles Times and Slate.
On Thursday, when Feinstein was prompted to vote during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Feinstein paused. She was told by a colleague to "say aye."
