WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee investigating the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case has withdrawn a subpoena to former FBI Director Robert Mueller, citing the state of his health.
The House Oversight Committee last month scheduled Mueller to appear Tuesday for a deposition, but the subpoena was withdrawn after the panel learned of unspecified health issues that precluded him from being able to testify, according to a committee statement.
The New York Times, citing a statement from Mueller’s family and people close to him, reported Sunday night that Mueller had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021 and has had difficulty speaking.
Mueller was appointed FBI director in 2001 by then-President George W. Bush and shepherded the bureau’s evolution into a national security and intelligence-gathering agency. He held the job for more than a decade, resigning in 2013.
In 2017, he was tapped by the Justice Department to serve as special counsel in charge of the investigation into potential coordination between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.
His team over the course of the next two years revealed efforts by Russian operatives to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf, and secured criminal charges and convictions against multiple Trump associates. But it did not find sufficient evidence to prove an illegal conspiracy between Moscow and the campaign to sway the election.
Mueller has rarely spoken about the investigation since its conclusion but did testify before Congress in July 2019, an appearance that drew attention because of the sometimes stilted and halting manner of his testimony.
Last month, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas...

You could tell by his expressions that he was hearing about some of it for the first time.
He’s hiding out in an Assisted Living Memory Care facility
When he did the press conference he read stuff that he didn’t understand. Then he ran off without taking any questions. I’m sure they put him on the case to give it some legitimacy. They knew he was out of it so they could just plant him in the corner and do what they wanted.
We'll need a second opinion on that.
Steven Hawking had trouble speaking too. Didn’t stop communicating though.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will we see hildabeast & bubba use the “ unspecified health issue excuse to not testify?”
Bubba has already wheeled out the defib…….
Proving once again that the Deep State is nothing more then a mafia.
They even use the same scams to avoid prosecution.
And we are supposed to believe these people? This is such B.S.. So if you sit in a wheelchair and drool for a little while, you can avoid facing the music. If you are part of the machine the system is rigged for you. This country is so screwed if they get away with this.
You mean the hearing where he was the only one that didn’t read the report he was responsible for???
I bet he got paid a lot of money to put his name on a report he had nothing to do with.
Yes, he’s not competent to stand trial.
Just like Biden, they used a demented old man to try to hurt Trump. While I’m at it, I demand to know which of our legislators are on dementia drugs! I know, HIPAA violation, but surely someone will be brave enough to let it slip. That’s not what HIPAA was made for anyway.
How Effing convenient. Son of a bitch should be strung up.
Correct on that. In fact, one of the partisan attorneys Kevin Clinesmith on his team got a slap on the wrist by one of these judges for doctoring email evidence. Same judge is now blocking trumps laws.
Mueller was preparation for Biden, who was preparation for the autopen, who was preparation for President AI. Hail It, IT?
Mueller is suffering from dementia. A few years ago he couldn’t remember a question for over one minute, now, my guess is he can’t remember anything for over 30 seconds..
