President Trump asked late Friday if Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will be investigating herself after details surfaced that Chinese intelligence officials had once recruited a staff member at her local office to report back to them on local politics.

“Dianne is the person leading our Nation on “Collusion” with Russia (only done by Dems). Will she now investigate herself?” Trump tweeted.

The details about the Feinstein staffer were first revealed in a Politico report last week about the West Coast becoming a growing target for foreign intelligence agencies.

The San Francisco Chronicle followed up, reporting that the FBI alerted the senator five years ago that her driver was being investigated for possible spying on behalf of the Chinese. The staffer also ran errands and served as a liaison to the Asian American community, the report said.

The staffer, who had no access to classified information, was fired once Feinstein was alerted about the staffer.
