REPORT: Key ‘Russiagate’ Figure Living In ‘Memory Care’ Facility

One of the key figures in the so-called Trump-Russia hoax has been found to be residing in a memory care facility for seniors struggling with mental lapses, according to investigative reporter Paul Sperry.

Nearly a decade after baseless allegations first surfaced that President Donald Trump was conspiring with Russian forces to influence the 2016 election, an autopsy of the investigation has reportedly revealed that top former officials in the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s campaign were closely coordinating on the effort, which continued to haunt Trump well into his first term and beyond.

Out of the government’s initial 2016 investigation came a probe by special counsel Robert Mueller, who served as director of the FBI from 2001 to 2013, which concluded in 2019 that the government should never have pursued the connection between Trump and Russia.

Earlier this week, Mueller was handed a subpoena by the U.S. House Oversight Committee to give sworn testimony, a task that will prove difficult after investigators learned he is living in a “memory care” facility for those suffering from declining faculties.

Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) had ordered Mueller to appear for a deposition on September 2.

RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry broke the news that Mueller, 80, has been staying at the assisted living facility for at least the past few years.

“House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years,” Paul Sperry wrote on X.

It’s unclear what information Comer will be able to glean from Mueller, who appeared to struggle while testifying before Congress in 2019 about his Russiagate investigation. The former special counsel frequently paused and shuffled papers as he attempted to provide detailed answers about the investigation, which occurred in partnership with former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Weissmann and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the Gateway Pundit reported.

But Mueller’s work left enough holes that eventually a second special prosecutor, John Durham, was appointed to finish the job. In 2023, Durham reached many of the same conclusions as Mueller, exonerating President Trump from allegations that he accepted help from Russian actors during the 2016 election.

By then, however, Trump was long out of office and facing multiple federal prosecutions stemming from the 2020 election.

The U.S. Justice Department has launched a criminal probe into top former officials alleged to have been involved in orchestrating Russiagate, including Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
