President Trump celebrated the death of former FBI director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller with a teeth-baring social media post on Saturday.
“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he posted shortly after Mueller’s death was announced.
Mueller was named Special Counsel and tasked with investigating the 2016 election which hung over the head of Trump throughout his first term in office.
The now dead former G-man concluded that Russia interfered, mainly on social media, with the intent of benefitting Trump.
No charges against the president came from the investigation, though Mueller refused to formally exonerate Trump.
Mueller’s family announced on Saturday that the New York native died at the age of 81.
“With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away last night. His family asks that their privacy be respected,” Mueller’s family said in a statement shared to social media.
Mueller had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease, though his cause of death has not been announced.
