(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who targeted Donald Trump for years with his Russiagate investigation, died Saturday after suffering from Parkinson’s disease for over four years.
Trump issued a celebratory statement upon the news.
“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” the president said.

Mueller was FBI director from 2001 to 2013, and he later led the federal probe into the debunked and fabricated allegations of collusion between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government. The investigation spanned from 2017 to 2019, consuming nearly the entirety of Trump’s first term.
Lesser known is the fact that Mueller also ran a program to stage neo-Nazi rallies throughout the country when he was FBI director in the mid-2000s. Headline USA exposed Mueller’s program in an investigation last year.

Last September, the House Oversight Committee said that it would subpoena him to testify about the FBI’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Epstein was first charged with soliciting a minor in 2006, during Mueller’s tenure.
The Oversight Committee’s efforts to depose him is what caused the news of his disease to become public, with his family issuing a statement about the matter to the New York Times.
“Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021,” the family reportedly told the Times. “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. His family asks that his privacy be respected.”
