Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) disputed a report that claimed the senator suggested she might vote to acquit President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial.<\/p>\n

If true, Feinstein, 86, would have been the first Democrat to suggest a vote to acquit Trump.<\/p>\n

A Los Angeles Times article stated, \u201cFeinstein suggests she is leaning toward acquitting Trump in the impeachment trial.\u201d The article was widely circulated before Feinstein issued a statement on social media disputing the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LA Times misunderstood what I said today. Before the trial I said Id keep an open mind. Now that both sides made their cases, its clear the presidents actions were wrong,\u201d Feinstein stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe withheld vital foreign assistance for personal political gain. That cant be allowed to stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Senator Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) January 28, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Feinstein also shared a post by Alayna Treene, a reporter with Axios.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the @latimes has this story backwards. I was the reporter who asked @SenFeinstein these questions. She told me she was initially going to vote against impeachment before this but when I asked her to clarify, she said shes changed her opinion,\u201d Treene wrote.<\/p>\n

Treene released a transcript of Feinsteins remarks to reporters, including where Feinstein said that she \u201cwas going to vote against it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked what she was going to vote against, Feinstein said: \u201cImpeachment. Before this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the problem with it is, it is such a window that opens you to the thinking of the man in charge. That is rather profound, that he could do this, and pick up the phone and call the head of another country, in a war, and we supported that other country with almost $400 million, and the other countrys Russia, and this country is Ukraine, and theyre an ally, and what does that say?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
