Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has died at the age of 81, according to a family statement. President Trump responded with a controversial statement, writing 'I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!' on Truth Social.
Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2021 and had significant difficulty with mobility and speech in recent months.
As special counsel, Mueller led an investigation into whether Trump's campaign coordinated with Russia during the 2016 election from 2017 to 2019.
He served as FBI Director for 12 years, overseeing the agency during a pivotal period after the 9/11 attacks.
