House Oversight Withdraws Mueller Subpoena Amid Parkinson’s Revelation

The House Oversight Committee has officially withdrawn its subpoena for former special counsel Robert Mueller, citing newly revealed health issues. A committee spokesperson confirmed the decision to ABC News, stating, “We’ve learned that Mr. Mueller has health issues that preclude him from being able to testify.”

Chairman James Comer had subpoenaed Mueller to appear on Tuesday, September 2nd, as part of the committee’s extensive investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files. Comer’s letter to Mueller, dated August 5th, emphasized the committee’s belief that Mueller possessed relevant knowledge from his tenure as FBI Director from 2001 to 2013, a period during which Epstein was under FBI investigation.

Mueller’s family informed The New York Times that he has been battling Parkinson’s disease, a condition that prohibits him from testifying before Congress. In a statement, the family revealed, “Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021. He retired from the practice of law at the end of that year. He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022, and he retired at the end of 2022. His family asks that his privacy be respected.”
