Robert Mueller, who served as FBI director and later led the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, has died at the age of 81. His tenure as FBI director was marked by efforts to uphold the agency’s independence and integrity. The investigation he headed examined connections between the Trump campaign and Russian entities, resulting in a comprehensive report that detailed extensive contacts but did not establish criminal conspiracy.
The news of his passing was reported by NBC News, with President Donald Trump commenting publicly on social media, expressing he was “glad” about the death.
