Garrett Graff on Robert Mueller: War Hero, FBI Chief, and Trump’s Nemesis — The Full Story

Michael Smerconish reflects on the life and legacy of former FBI Director Robert Mueller following his passing — and reacts to the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s shocking public response. Joined by journalist and historian Garrett Graff, author of "The Threat Matrix," the conversation explores Mueller’s decades of public service, from Vietnam War hero to the man who reshaped the FBI after 9/11. Graff offers a behind-the-scenes look at Mueller’s character, leadership, and why he was once seen as one of the most trusted figures in Washington. The discussion also revisits the Mueller Report — breaking down its key findings on Russian interference, obstruction of justice, and the political fallout that still resonates today. In the second half, listeners weigh in on Trump’s reaction and what it says about today’s political climate, leadership, and public discourse. Original air date 23 March 2026.
