Former FBI Director Robert Mueller is set to withdraw his testimony before the House Oversight Committee due to health issues, following House Oversight Chair James Comer’s request for his presence to provide testimony on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activity. The committee intends to withdraw its subpoena, and 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 emphasized the importance of Congress conducting oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws and reforming the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations. The Trump administration has pushed to unseal grand jury testimony and additional materials tied to the criminal proceedings for further transparency on the topic.
Mueller is reportedly unable to testify in the House Epstein probe due to health issues, according to a report. Mr. PopZit EAR EXTRACTIONS! 3008
