Dianne Feinstein — a long-serving Democratic US senator and gun control advocate who spearheaded the first federal assault weapons ban — has died at 90, US media report.
Ms Feinstein's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the news, first reported by the Punchbowl news outlet.
She was a Washington trail-blazer who among other accomplishments became the first woman to head the influential Senate Intelligence Committee. During almost 31 years in Senate she amassed a moderate-to-liberal record, sometimes drawing scorn from the left. Ms Feinstein joined the Senate in 1992 after winning a special election and was re-elected five times including in 2018, along the way becoming the longest-serving woman senator ever.
