Former FBI Director and special counsel Robert Mueller has died at the age of 81, his family announced Saturday.
“With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away last night. His family asks that their privacy be respected,” Mueller’s family said in a statement shared to social media.
The cause of death is not immediately known, though Mueller had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
Mueller famously conducted a probe into the 2016 presidential election which concluded in 2019 that Russia had interfered with the election with the intent of benefitting President Donald Trump.
