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.

“While the Department undertakes efforts to uncover and publicly disclose additional information related to Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell’s cases, it is imperative that Congress conduct oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafficking laws generally and specifically its handling of the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell,” Comer wrote in his letter to Mueller requesting his testimony. 

“The Committee may use the results of this investigation to inform legislative solutions to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations. 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,” he added.

Public interest has caused the private agreement to resurface as lawmakers search to hold Epstein’s former clients accountable. 

The Trump administration has pushed to unseal grand jury testimony and additional materials tied to the criminal proceedings for further transparency on the topic. 

Both President Trump and former President Clinton have faced criticism over their relationships with Epstein.
