Robert Mueller, who spent years investigating false claims about Trump, dies age 81
Robert Mueller, the Democrat-appointed special prosecutor who spent years, and millions of tax dollars, investigating false Democrat claims that President Donald Trump’s first campaign colluded with Russia, has died at the age of 81.
Trump expressed no sympathy, with, “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
In fact, Mueller’s investigation hindered and disrupted fully half of Trump’s first term. It was predicated on false claims from Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, who failed twice as a Democrat Oval Office hopeful, about that “collusion.”
The conspiracy to make those claims has been documented to have gone as high as the White House during Barack Obama’s tenure, and the investigation snared dozens of other completely innocent people.
The full extent of the weaponization of the government under Obama, and later Joe Biden, now is just being revealed by congressional investigations that have confirmed that the scheming included wildly ridiculous claims found in the so-called Steele Dossier of made-up stories.
Mueller had directed the FBI for 12 years before he left there in 2013. He was picked by Democrats to lead that failed investigation of Trump in 2017, spending years and tens of millions of tax dollars.

The Washington Examiner said Mueller’s family issued a statement: “With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away.”
He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021 and his family announced that in 2025.
Trump repeatedly labeled Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt.”
Mueller and his team produced no charges against Trump.
Mueller recently had been living in a care facility.
He attended Princeton, served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, winning two Navy Commendation Medals, then got a law degree from the University of Virginia.
He became a federal prosecutor and later headed a division of the Department of Justice.
