senator feinstein is 88 years old, the oldest senator in the country. according to the chronicle, four senators, including some democrats, along with three former staffers all who are not identified raised these concerns. they said it appears feinstein can no longer do her job without her staff doing most of the work for her. one of the lawmakers said they had to reintroduce themselves several times during a conversation that lasted several hours. the former san francisco mayor has been in the senate since 1992. today the senator released a statement to us. in it she said she remains committed to fighting for californians. she touted her efforts to reauthorize the violence against women act, as well as secure funding for california. she also wrote to us, quote, i remain committed to do what i said i would do when i was reelected in 2018. the real question is whether i'm still an effective representative for 40 million californians, and the record shows that i am. now this is not just the first time we've seen concerns questioning feinstein's memory. two

senator feinstein is 88 years old now and has two years left on her term. >> we asked about what feinstein's colleagues are telling her. >> they found themselves having to introduce themselves to her after years of working together. and then reintroduce themselves because she was forgetting parts of the conversation that they already had. clarksville joining us now with some insight. the fact that members of congress are talking about this, it really suggests there is a real problem. doesn't it? >> it may be a problem or maybe an exaggeration of a problem, there is no question that dianne feinstein is not the senator she used to be. she is showing her age and there is a diminished capacity there. she has a problem with her short-term memory. she can forget people who she has known for a long time. that is the situation. but under the constitution that is not grounds for removal. it is kind of interesting. we don't have term limits or age limits for our senators, congresspeople or the u.s. supreme court. sometimes that leads to tension. ruth bader ginsburg, some feel that she stayed on too lo

we invited senator feinstein on today's program. we'd welcome her at anytime.hington correspondent for the chronicle who co-wrote the original story. i'm going to put on the screen a photograph from the piece which says this, four u.s. senators, including three democrats, as well as three former feinstein staffers and the california member of congress told the chronicle in recent interviews that her memory is rapidly deteriorating. they said it appears she can no longer full full her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of california. have any of those sources spoken to senator feinstein and shared the concerns that they? >> well, i don't want to get into exactly who has had what conversations and how they relate to my sources. but i will tell you that my reporting indicated that there are conversations happening among they are colleagues and close to her, about what to be done about this. and that in the past if there have been efforts to sort of broach the subject with her or intermediaries, it

they all have tremendous respect for senator feinstein, they have affection for senator feinstein and those were part of their concerns about not wanting to use their names because of the hurt it might cause her even to see their names attached to this. the people i spoke with felt that they owed it to the people of california to make these issues known. that is the place a lot of this was coming from. no one would deny that it is unfortunate timing with her husband, but certainly my reporting and my colleagues' reporting, it predates her husband's decline in health as well, so it is not nearly a situation that arises from that. kristen: some say this could be politically motivated. i know you talked to a lot of democrats as well so that makes that claim a somewhat unlikely but politically, she is a centrist democrat considered too far right for many progressives and they point to her relationship with some of her republican colleagues like lindsey graham. how do we know that these allegations are not possibly politically motivated? when you google this and you can see it is mostly by

the are colleagues and many of them friends of dianne feinstein. and three former staffers and one number craddick member of congress. they are concerned about her memory losses. they're so concerned they think maybe it is time for dianne feinstein to step down. this is huge. >> what are they saying and how are they seeing that memory issues play out? >> we have one democratic member of congress who has recently had a long conversation over a couple of hours with senator feinstein id, usually they have rigorous policy debates. because that's how she is. but he said she asked to reintroduce themselves to each other. and they exchanged pleasantries. it is sad. many of the people, the story we spoke with the client to put their name to it. because much of that is out of respect for dianne feinstein. they are concerned about her. she is a pioneer, she has been in office since the late 1960s. the first female mayor of seven cisco. the first female senator of california along with barbara boxer. she is seen as a role model for any people, particularly wo

: senator feinstein pushing back against questions about whether she is mentally fit to do her job. it stems from a recent report by the san francisco chronicle that sites four unnamed senators including the former feinstein aides and a california democratic member of congress all say her mental health has recently gotten worse. they cited issues with her memory and raise questions about her ability to lead. feinstein defended herself telling the chronicle she is committed to her work and meets regularly with leaders and puts in the hours and in the statement the 88-year-old goes on to say the real question is whether i am still an effective representative for 40 million californians and the record shows i am. we talked to a san jose state political science professor about the debate swirling around senator feinstein. she sees another factor in play. >> we tend to put an age screen over women who work in politics more than. we have a lot of screens to put over women in politics but one of them is sufficiently qualified. we are never quite satisfied that they are fully qualified. eit

the common denominator is that senator feinstein's memory is, quoting here, "rapidly deteriorating,"n no longer fulfill her job duties. for example, the anonymous democratic house member claimed that during a recent meeting had to re-introduce themselves to several times and that she repeatedly asked the same questions. the rep told the chronicle, "she was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that's why my encounter with her was so jarring, because there was just no trace of that." the meeting even prompted the congress member to suggest an intervention to get feinstein to retire. but others say her memory lapses are not constant and that someday she is as sharp as ever. but one source told the chronicle her memory status is a disservice to the people of california. make no mistake, feinstein still has her defenders like senator alex padilla, who says that she remains at the top of her game, and house speaker nancy pelosi, who said, quoting here, "it's unconscionable that just weeks after losing her beloved husband of more than four decades, and after decades of
