Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum was part owner of a Chinese firm that allegedly produced the computers with embedded spyware chips to steal classified data from America's military and feed it back to China.

The computers stole so much sensitive information that the U.S. military has never been able to calculate how much data they allowed China to steal.

The explosive revelation was uncovered by investigative journalist and author Peter Schweizer for his new book "Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win."

A large chapter of Red-Handed is devoted to documenting Feinstein’s long and expensive relationship with Communist China.

While others in Congress struggled to make ends meet, sleeping in their offices to save on rent, Feinstein commuted from San Francisco aboard a Gulfstream G650 jet (pre-owned, the aircraft averages $61,815,000), sported expensive jewelry and flitted from one mansion to the next.

Her last disclosure, in May, put her net worth at $69.4 million.

Blum's wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, were criticized over Blum's government contracts and business dealings with the People's Republic of China and her past votes on trade issues with the country, however he denied any wrongdoing.[35]

Blum and his wife were also criticized for having a 75% stake in contractor Tutor Perini, which received assets in military contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan during the U.S. occupation of those countries.[36][37]

In 2009, Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a government agency that had awarded her husband's real estate firm, CB Richard Ellis.[38]

In 2020, Blum was discovered to have written letters on behalf of unqualified applicants to various UC campus chancellors.[39] The applicants were admitted through student athletics programs, even though, according to a state audit “they possessed little athletic talent.” [40] The audit described Blum's actions as "particularly problematic" as University Regents should not be influencing admissions decisions.
