Mueller's Legacy: Russian Interference & US Law Enforcement

Reporting from the Daily News, now, I'm Corey with the story with the latest global headlines.

Robert Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election, has died at age 81.

Multiple news outlets confirmed the news from a family statement, with no cause disclosed, though reports last year noted he had Parkinson's disease.

Earlier this week, sources shared details of his long career, including leading the FBI for 12 years after the September 11th attacks.

He shifted the agency toward counterterrorism and better intelligence sharing, helping rebuild it during a crisis.

Trump quickly reacted on social media, expressing gladness over Mueller's passing and claiming he can no longer harm innocence.

The probe drew fierce criticism from Trump allies, who called it a witch hunt, despite indictments of 34 people, including Russian officers.

And Trump associates like Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, many later pardoned.

Mueller's four-time and 48-page report confirms sweeping Russian hacking and propaganda to aid Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton, but found.

Insufficient evidence for conspiracy charges against the campaign.

He followed Justice Department policy by not inditing a sitting president.

His legacy is a Vietnam veteran, decorated Marine, and no nonsense prosecutor endures, from prosecuting mob bosses to standing firm against overreach.

In the Bush era, shaping U.S. law enforcement for decades.
