Robert Mueller, the former FBI director, has died at the age of 81, having famously led the investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Robert Mueller, who served as the director of the FBI from 2001 to 2013, has passed away at the age of 81. He was prominent for being appointed in 2017 as special counsel by the Department of Justice to investigate the 'Russiagate' scandal, which involved allegations of collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election. In 2019, Mueller's report concluded that Russia indeed interfered in the electoral process with the intent of aiding Trump's candidacy. His death marks the end of a notable career in public service that included significant contributions to U.S. law enforcement and national security.
