Let us tell you that Mueller became the sixth FBI director of America. He was nominated by then President George W. Bush on September 4, 2001. He served as FBI Director for nearly 12 years and retired in 2013. President Barack Obama requested Mueller to remain director after his 10-year term ends. He was the second longest serving director of the FBI. Only J. Edgar Hoover served longer than him.

Let us tell you that he was the special counsel in the Justice Department’s investigation, in which it was being found out whether the Trump campaign had illegally coordinated with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
