Robert Mueller has had Parkinson’s disease for past four years: Report
Former special counsel Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago, his family revealed on Sunday night.
“Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021,” his family said in a statement to the New York Times. “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.”
Mueller, 81, served as FBI director for 12 years before later being appointed as special counsel into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The House Oversight Committee had been seeking his testimony into the bureau’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, but that request has now been withdrawn.
According to the New York Times, Mueller has had difficulty speaking and experienced problems moving in the past few months, citing people familiar with his condition.
Parkinson’s disease primarily affects the nervous system, particularly the brain, causing tremors, stiffness, and slow movement. It is incurable, with the disorder only getting worse over time, although treatments such as medication and physical therapy can help manage the symptoms.
