An
Update
From
Senator
Dianne
Feinstein

HOLDING
TRUMP
NOMINEES
ACCOUNTABLE
Feinstein:
Pompeo
Would
Reinforce
Trump’s
Worst
Impulses
(April
26,
2018)
“The
Secretary
of
State
must
be
well-versed
in
the
art
of
diplomacy.
They
must
possess
a
deft
touch
necessary
to
operate
on
the
world
stage.
Unfortunately,
Mr.
Pompeo’s
record
and
his
rhetoric
show
how
ill-matched
he
is
for
this
position.
Above
all,
I
fear
that
he
would
only
reinforce
President
Trump’s
worst
impulses
to
lash
out
at
our
adversaries
rather
than
pursue
dogged
diplomacy.”

CIA
Refusal
to
Release
CIA
Nominee’s
Information
(April
20,
2018)
“It’s
completely
unacceptable
for
the
CIA
to
declassify
only
material
that’s
favorable
to
Gina
Haspel,
while
at
the
same
time
stonewalling
our
efforts
to
declassify
all
documents
related
her
involvement
in
the
torture
program.”

reflect
our
state’s
communities

values

PROTECTING
THE

INVESTIGATION
Feinstein
Calls
for
Vote
on
Special
Counsel
Legislation
(April
26,
2018)
“Firing
Special
Counsel
Mueller
without
cause
would
violate
Justice
Department
regulations,
fly
in
the
face
of
federal
law
and
represent
an
incredibly
dangerous
abuse
of
power.”

Feinstein
on
Special
Counsel
Protection
Bill (April
11,
2018)
“It’s
vital
that
Special
Counsel
Mueller
be
allowed
to
continue
his
investigation
without
interference,
and
passing
a
bipartisan
bill
to
ensure
he
can’t
be
fired
without
cause
is
essential.

or
request
whether

or
implied
to

in
the
Special
Counsel’s
investigation,
including
but

Mueller,
cutting
off

resources,
limiting
staffing,
or
inhibiting
his
ability
to
follow
the

STANDING
UP
FOR
CALIFORNIANS
Feinstein
Supports
Bill
to
Expand
Public
Health
Plan
to
Employers (April
30,
2018)
“I
have
long
supported
a
public
health
care
option
based
on
Medicare
to
increase
choice
and
competition
in
Covered
California,
and
expanding
availability
of
such
a
plan
to
employers
is
a
commonsense
step.”

Feinstein
Against
Plan
to
Raise
Rent
for
Low-Income
Families
(April
27,
2018)
“These
proposals
would
leave
even
more
low-income
people
without
stable
housing,
making
it
harder
for
them
to
achieve
upward
economic
mobility,
and
live
with
dignity.”

Feinstein:
Don’t
Undermine
California’s
Strong
Fuel
Economy
Standards
(April
25,
2018)
“If
the
Trump
administration
tries
to
weaken
the
current
fuel
economy
standards
or
challenges
California’s
authority
to
fight
for
clean
air,
it
would
provoke
years
of
litigation
and
investment
uncertainty
for
the
auto
industry.”

Don't
let
Trump
Block
Fuel
Standards
that
Help
Consumers,
Curb
Pollution
(May
3,
2018)
"Current
fuel
economy
standards
are
cutting
pollution,
helping
consumers
and
spurring
tech
innovation.
President
Trump
should
not
reverse
progress.
This
innovation
didn’t
happen
by
accident.
It
is
the
result
of
federal
policies
that
require
auto
manufacturers
to
build
more
fuel-efficient
cars."

to
Trump:
Stop
Expansion
of
Junk
Health
Insurance
Plans
(April
23,
2018)
“If
finalized,
the
rule
could
increase
costs
and
reduce
access
to
quality
coverage
for
millions
of
Americans,
harm
people
with
pre-existing
conditions,
and
force
premium
increases
on
older
Americans.”
