Robert Mueller, a former FBI director, served as special counsel from 2017 to 2019, leading a high-profile investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election. His team examined potential links and coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with Donald Trump's campaign. The investigation resulted in several indictments and convictions of Trump associates, but ultimately did not establish sufficient evidence to conclude that Trump himself had conspired with Russia.
