Robert Mueller, the former special counsel who investigated ties between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia, has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, his family says.
Mueller, 81, was set to testify this week in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in its inquiry into the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Chairman James Comer, a Republican, subpoenaed Mueller, who served as FBI director between 2001 and 2013, to testify on Tuesday.
