00:04 U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the trailblazing California Democrat who broke gender barriers
00:12 throughout her five decades in politics, died Thursday night at her Washington, D.C. home
00:17 following a number of health scares. She was 90. The California Democrat was the oldest member of
00:24 the Senate and had announced plans to retire at the end of her term. Her death was first reported
00:29 by ABC7 Insider. NBC News also reported her death, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
