Trump reacts to death of former FBI director Robert Mueller: 'He can no longer hurt innocent people'
2026-03-22
[JustTheNews] Mueller was special counsel for the Russia probe that took place during the first Trump administration

Former FBI director Robert Mueller has died, according to reports on Saturday.

Mueller was appointed special counsel for the Russia 2016 election interference investigation that took place during the first Trump administration.

Mueller, 81, had investigated whether the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Trump reacted to the death on Truth Social.

"Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!" he wrote.

Mueller's final report on the Russia probe was released in 2019, which was the third year of Trump's four-year first term.

FBI Misled Court To Spy on Second Trump Campaign Adviser
[RCI] Carter Page wasn’t the only adviser from Trump’s first campaign wiretapped by the FBI. Walid Phares was electronically monitored for a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington-based FBI agent who was assigned to investigate him as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe.

As in Page’s case, the bureau withheld evidence exonerating Phares from the court to secure surveillance authorization, according to newly declassified FBI documents.

"I had no idea any of this was happening," Phares told RealClearInvestigations in an exclusive interview Wednesday night. "This is shocking because they told my lawyer that I was only a ’witness’ and that they just needed some information."

"But these were huge abuses that I can see now," he added. Phares said he intends to sue the FBI and Justice Department for damages.

The 68-year-old Lebanese-American scholar said case agents and prosecutors grilled him for months, questioned his employer, and even went after his bank records. As a result, he said he lost his job at a university, his livelihood, and even his bank accounts and credit card after Wells Fargo cancelled them.

"It was like a disaster for me financially and physically," he said. "I also lost my Fox News contract" as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East, which he had held since 2007.
