Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told a reporter that she hasn't been gone following a three-month absence while she recovered from the shingles virus, according to a report.

The comment was captured during a recent exchange with reporters after the senator voted against legislation that would invalidate some of the recent crime bills passed by the Washington D.C. council, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"What have I heard about what?" Feinstein asked.

"About your return," the reporter said.

"I haven’t been gone," Feinstein said. "You should ... I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working."

"You’ve been working from home is what you’re saying?" the reporter responded.

"No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting. Please, either know or don’t know," Feinstein allegedly said back.

Feinstein then went by in her wheelchair and didn't answer further questions.

FOX 11's Cristy Fajardo spoke with LiveNOW's Lexie Petrovic about the confusing interaction.
