The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform kicked off its series of high-profile subpoena hearings last month with former Attorney General Bill Barr, who investigated the suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein. Tuesday, however, former FBI Director Robert Mueller's hearing ran into an unexpected hitch, leading to its cancellation.
Mueller, who became the FBI director shortly before the September 11 attacks and resigned in 2013, was reportedly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease four years ago.
'We've learned that Mr. Mueller has health issues that preclude him from being able to testify.'
The AP reported that the committee withdrew its subpoena of Mueller, citing the state of his health.
"We've learned that Mr. Mueller has health issues that preclude him from being able to testify. The committee has withdrawn its subpoena," a committee aide told CBS News earlier this week.

“Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021,” Robert Mueller's family said in a statement to the New York Times on Sunday. “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.”
Suspicions that Mueller's health was declining have been aired since at least 2019, when he gave a "halting performance" during a hearing on the Russia investigation, according to the New York Times. During a key meeting to discuss the findings of the investigation, Mueller’s hands “were trembling” and his voice was “tremulous,” Barr wrote in a memoir published in 2022.
In a cover letter addressed to Mueller on August 5, Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) explained the reasoning behind the subpoena issued on July 23, 2025. The committee sought information that members believed Mueller may have regarding the investigation into Epstein. "Because you were FBI Director during the time when Mr. Epstein was under investigation by the FBI, the Committee believes that you possess knowledge and information relevant to its investigation."
The subpoena hearing was set for September 2, 2025.

Bombshell DNI Emails Expose Fraud That Sabotaged 2018 Trump-Putin Summit
The new release by Gabbard is a vindication for Trump, who stood alone in 2018, and strengthens his position ahead of the upcoming summit.Durham annex proves Russiagate was a coordinated smear
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week declassified a 29-page document known as the Durham annex. Its publication has received remarkably little attention from major media outlets, despite containing one of the most significant intelligence disclosures since the origins of the Russiagate investigation.
The Durham annex is not conjecture, analysis, or political spin. It is a collection of sensitive intelligence reports, internal memos, and declassified emails compiled by the intelligence community and withheld from public view for years under the pretext of “source protection.”
The Durham annex reveals that the FBI ignored evidence in 2015 and 2016 suggesting that foreign governments were attempting to collude not with Trump, but with Clinton.
The declassified document offers a clearer view of what many Americans have long suspected: that the narrative surrounding Trump-Russia collusion was not only politically motivated but deliberately constructed by the Clinton campaign, facilitated by sympathetic actors within U.S. intelligence agencies, and ultimately endorsed by senior members of the Obama administration.
This trove of documents does not merely reinforce existing criticisms of the FBI’s conduct during the 2016 election. It provides evidence that the Clinton campaign approved a strategy to discredit Donald Trump by promoting a false association with Vladimir Putin. And it does so using intelligence collected from foreign surveillance of American political actors — surveillance that the CIA deemed credible enough to brief President Barack Obama directly.
The cover-up unraveled
Central to the Durham annex is a source codenamed “T1” — a foreign intelligence asset who intercepted Russian cyber-espionage activity targeting American entities, including George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the Clinton campaign, and U.S. think tanks. The reports T1 relayed to U.S. intelligence included detailed assessments of internal American political strategy. In effect, T1 was watching Russian spies watch us — and reporting back.
T1’s identity remains classified, but strong circumstantial evidence points to a Dutch intelligence source. The Netherlands reportedly gained access to Russian cyber operations as early as 2014. Regardless of who provided it, U.S. agencies treated the intelligence from T1 as credible.
Then-CIA Director John Brennan quickly briefed President Obama, Vice President Biden, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Those briefings included memos indicating Hillary Clinton had personally approved a plan to tie Donald Trump to Russian election interference.
One memo, dated 2016 and reportedly obtained through Russian surveillance of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, outlined a Clinton campaign strategy: “Smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal” over Russia’s preference for Trump. That memo laid the groundwork for the Trump-Russia collusion hoax now known as Russiagate.
Intelligence running Clinton’s interference
The CIA labeled the intelligence “sensitive” and credible. The FBI rejected it. Agents claimed it relied on hearsay, appeared exaggerated, and might have suffered from translation errors.
That kind of skepticism might seem reasonable — if the FBI had applied the same scrutiny to the Steele dossier. Instead, they accepted that now-debunked document without verification and used it to justify surveillance warrants.
The inconsistency runs deeper than analysis. The Durham annex reveals that the FBI ignored evidence from 2015 and 2016 showing that foreign governments weren’t courting Trump — they were cozying up to Clinton.
One memo, written before Trump even announced his candidacy, described a foreign intelligence operative preparing to meet with a Clinton associate to discuss a “plan.” The operative was acting on direct orders from a foreign head of state.
RELATED: The Russia hoax and COVID lies share the same deep-state fingerprints
The precise content of the plan is redacted, but the FBI’s field office viewed it as serious enough to request a FISA warrant. That request, however, was left to “languish in limbo” by senior FBI officials, who subsequently warned Clinton in a defensive briefing.
Frayed trust, no accountability
The documents suggest a coordinated operation — one in which political, bureaucratic, and media institutions aligned to discredit a political opponent using information they had strong reasons to believe was false. The CIA deemed the intelligence worth a presidential briefing. The FBI discarded it. The media ignored it. And Clinton operatives implemented it.
This is not merely a scandal of partisan excess. Nearly 10 years after the first Hillary Clinton email leaks, and eight years after Trump’s unexpected victory, we are only now beginning to see the scope of institutional complicity in the Russiagate deception. The political cost may never be fully calculated, but the institutional damage — to the FBI, to the intelligence community, and to the trust of the American people — is already done.

Levindication: Mark Levin's Mueller and Russia hoax diagnoses in 2019 were right on the money
The House Oversight Committee issued deposition subpoenas on Tuesday to the Department of Justice as well as to a number of high-profile former government officials "for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein."
Among those whom Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed was Robert Mueller.
'I'm not going to mock this man.'
There are mounting doubts over whether Mueller — who was FBI director when child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein received immunity from federal prosecution through a non-prosecution agreement — will be able to testify before the committee.
If accurate, the basis of these doubts serves to vindicate the second of two diagnoses Blaze Media co-founder Mark Levin accurately made in the same segment six years ago.
Then
Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to oversee the DOJ's investigation into allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. His final report, which was released in April 2019, stated that the "investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
Following the publication of his report, Mueller testified before the House Judiciary Committee. It was a total disaster.
During the hearing, the former special counsel stuttered, blanked on critical pieces of information about his investigation, and struggled to hear questions.

After watching the hearing, Levin suggested that the former special counsel might have "onset dementia."
"Look, I've seen people with onset dementia. I'm not going to mock this man," Levin told "Fox & Friends." "He obviously shouldn't have been there. He should've never headed this investigation. I'm not making allegations. I'm not trying to be provocative, but the idea that Rod Rosenstein appointed this man to head the office is an outrage."
In addition to suggesting that Mueller's disastrous performance was the result of cognitive decline, Levin noted that "this is the greatest political scandal in American history, and it's still going on, and it was led by Obama, and it was led by Hillary Clinton."
'Mueller was used by some very vicious people.'
After noting how the FBI spied on the Trump campaign and made good use out of the bogus Steele dossier, Levin said, "They were trying to kill off the Trump campaign. ... This is Obama, Hillary, and their surrogates in law enforcement and in the intelligence agencies."
In an apparent effort to maximize confidence in Mueller's statements to Congress — including the former special counsel's suggestion that his report did not exonerate the president — Newsweek hit Levin on his first claim.
The liberal publication suggested that there was no evidence that Mueller had dementia, that "there are no credible reports of Mueller being unwell in any way," and that the allegation was part of an effort to "discredit the Mueller probe."
Now
Both of Levin's assertions appear to have been right on the money. Newsweek's doubts, on the other hand, appear to have been misplaced.
Paul Sperry, a senior reporter at RealClearInvestigations, revealed on Tuesday that sources told him that Mueller "has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years."
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) noted, "It was clear this is where things were heading when we questioned him before congress. Mueller was used by some very vicious people. I’m not sure he really ever knew what was happening in the investigation."
When asked by the Daily Caller about whether Mueller was indeed in a memory-care facility, a spokesman for the Oversight Committee declined to comment.
'More than vindication, I am disgusted and appalled by this.'
Levin's other diagnosis concerning Obama and Clinton's links to the Russia collusion hoax was also recently bolstered by documents declassified and shared by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
The Durham annex, declassified by Ratcliffe then published by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), revealed that the FBI was aware in 2016 of credible intelligence indicating that the Clinton campaign planned to smear Trump, falsely link him to Russia, then have the intelligence community carry the ball down the field.
The House Intelligence Committee majority staff report released last month by Gabbard revealed that the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment regarding imagined Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was a work of fiction, including comprising misquotes, unreliable reports, lies of omissions, and straight-out falsehoods.
As Levin deduced, Obama was directly involved — ordering the ICA in December — and the Steele dossier played a role, as it was incorporated in the assessment contrary to ex-CIA Director John Brennan's 2023 statement to Congress.
Levin told Blaze News, "Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are responsible for the greatest attack on our Republic from within our government. And they colluded and conspired with the American media, who worked with them every step of the way."
"More than vindication, I am disgusted and appalled by this and am thankful the administration is releasing internal government records and evidence and that a grand jury has been empaneled to criminally expose the reprobates who were involved," continued Levin. "It is also about time that Obama and Clinton will be questioned under oath — or sure as hell better be!"
