Source: The Hill

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller will reportedly no longer appear before the House Oversight Committee due to health issues after House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) requested his presence to provide testimony on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activity, according to a recent report.

“The committee intends to withdraw its subpoena,” a source told Fox News Digital. The Hill has contacted the House GOP Oversight Committee for comment. Mueller was set to testify on Sept. 2 in a House probe that subpoenaed former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to provide information on Epstein’s whereabouts and inner circle.

During Mueller’s tenure at the FBI, a 60-count indictment was drafted for Epstein in 2007, but the next year, he pled guilty in Florida state court to two prostitution offenses, therefore receiving immunity from federal prosecution through a non-prosecution agreement.

Comer signaled that the former FBI director’s closed-door deposition would help uncover background on the deceased financier’s ability to evade federal charges.
