Robert Mueller, the former FBI director and Justice Department special counsel who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, the New York Times reported on Sunday, and the condition will prevent him from testifying before the House Oversight Committee as part of its Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Citing a statement from Mueller’s family, the Times reported that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in “the summer of 2021” and he “retired from the practice of law at the end of that year.”
As a result of the neurological condition, the former FBI director has been facing mobility and speech issues, the report added, citing “people familiar with his condition.”
