Robert Mueller, the ex-special counsel who led an investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 election, has passed away at 81. His family shared the news, asking for privacy. Mueller was appointed special counsel in 2017 to manage the federal inquiry into Russian interference.
Trump reacted to Mueller's death, saying, 'I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!' Mueller is survived by his wife, Ann Standish, and their two daughters, Cynthia and Melissa.
Mueller married Ann in 1966, and they raised their daughters together. Ann remained a steadfast presence throughout Mueller's extensive career in public service, which spanned from the Marine Corps to federal law enforcement.
