US EditionRobert Mueller, 9/11-era FBI chief who later probed alleged Trump-Russia ties, dead at 81
Mueller led the FBI through post-9/11 reforms and oversaw the Russia probe that produced multiple indictments but no charges against President Trump, the FBI Agents Association said.
- On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Trump posted 'He can no longer hurt innocent people!' on Truth Social, signing as President DONALD J. TRUMP, after Mueller's death was announced.
- The president's animus traces to Mueller's 2017 appointment as special counsel investigating alleged Russian interference, which has fueled Trump's long-held grudge.
- Internet users responded with outrage and a viral meme comparing young Mueller in combat gear with young Trump holding a bowling trophy went viral, while actor Don Cheadle also reacted.
- The timing amplified calls for equal treatment from critics demanding equal condemnation after Trump’s Pearl Harbor remark two days earlier, with some invoking the Charlie Kirk comparison.
- Mueller had been summoned to testify in a Jeffrey Epstein-related congressional probe but his health prevented it, while his 2019 report and July 24, 2019 House Judiciary Committee appearance provide broader context.
