Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has passed away.
He was 81.
MS NOW reported:
Robert Mueller, who served as special counsel in the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, died on Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter. He was 81.
The cause of death was not immediately known, but Mueller had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for years, the people said.
Mueller, whose two-year probe concluded in 2019 that Russia had interfered in the election with the intent benefitting President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013. The Justice Department in 2017 appointed him special counsel to oversee the growing investigation after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

As TGP reported in August, Robert Mueller, former FBI Director who was tapped as special counsel to investigate President Trump’s 2016 ‘collusion’ with Russia is reportedly in a memory-care facility.
RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry revealed Robert Mueller, 80, has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years.
“House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years,” Paul Sperry said.
Mueller was not able to testify to Congress last summer.
The New York Times last year reported that Mueller got diagnosed with Parkinson’s four years ago and has had difficulty speaking in the last few months.
The Mueller family statement also claimed that Robert Mueller taught at his law school during fall of 2021 and 2022.
“Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021. He retired from the practice of law at the end of that year. He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022, and he retired at the end of 2022,” Mueller’s family said in a statement to The New York Times.
However, lawyers and insiders have refuted the Mueller family’s claims. Mueller allegedly did not teach at his law school in 2021 and 2022 because he was too mentally incapacitated to teach.
Mueller was reportedly in such bad shape that his star prosecutor from the Russia witch hunt had to step in and teach the classes.
