"Mueller set about almost immediately overhauling the bureau's mission to meet the law enforcement needs of the 21st century, beginning his 12-year tenure just one week before the Sept. 11 attacks."
"His investigation concluded that Russia interfered in the election on Trump's behalf and that the Trump campaign welcomed the help, but Mueller and his team ultimately found insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy."
"Mueller was maligned throughout the two-year investigation by Trump, who regularly derided it as a 'witch hunt.'"
Robert S. Mueller III, who served as FBI director and special counsel, has passed away at the age of 81. He transformed the FBI's focus to counter-terrorism after the September 11 attacks. His tenure included overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which found that Russia aided Trump's campaign but lacked sufficient evidence for a criminal conspiracy. Despite facing criticism from Trump, Mueller remained committed to public service throughout his career.
