Former FBI director and special counsel Robert Mueller died Friday at the age of 81, multiple outlets reported.
Mueller led the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 12 years, from 2001 to 2013, after first being appointed to the director role by former president George W. Bush. He also notably served as a special counsel for the Department of Justice (DOJ) during President Donald Trump’s first term probing Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.
After an investigation which lasted nearly two years, Mueller ultimately found no conclusive evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump wrote in a Saturday afternoon Truth Social post. “He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
