Special Counsel Mueller had NOTHING to do with the raid on Mar-a-Lago. This raid happened after the Mueller report had come out. Robert Mueller had nothing to do with the FBI retrieval of the stolen documents

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asserted on NBC on Sunday morning that those who were offended by Donald Trump’s universally reviled Truth Social post about the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, should approach the controversy from the president’s point of view.
“Meet the Press” host Kristin Welker kicked off the conversation by reading Trump’s posts where he wrote, “Robert Mueller just died. Good. I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people,” and then pressed, "Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen; someone who’s a Bronze Star, Purple Heart Kristen and who served in Vietnam?”
The nonplussed Bessent replied, ”Kristen, I was with the president in the green room at Davos and there was a video playing of what may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago,” and then recalled, “They are going through his wife’s wardrobe. And I watched the look in his eye, and I think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and to his family.”
Welker was quick to point out that Mueller had nothing to do with the court-approved raid looking for stolen government documents stored about the Florida resort, including in a bathroom.
Bessent, as he is known to do, cut off the host, and talked over her, asserting, “I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.”
