The name Robert Muller (FBI director between 2001 and 2013) is a popular name but same cannot be said for his wife Ann Cabell Standish who had lived a rather private life, away from the spotlight. She came to limelight as the wife of the American lawyer who was the 6th director of FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). It happened that Ann’s husband, Robert Muller was the incumbent director of FBI during the infamous World Trade Center 9/11 attack – a post he assumed just one week before the attack. Ann was really supportive of her spouse as she threw her weight behind Robert during the traumatic period.
Robert’s profile on the website of the University of Virginia’s law school revealed that he views his wife as a “true Saint” for her love and support especially when he had to go to Vietnam as a soldier and then to law school. While her husband was fighting in Vietnam, Ann occupied herself working at a private school in Washington with children who had learning disabilities as a special education teacher.
While Ann Cabell Standish has lived her past life away from the limelight, there has been a renewed interest in her life since her husband’s appointment as the special counsel of the investigation charged with the responsibility of looking into Russian interference in the last US elections of May 2017.
