Donald Trump celebrated the death of Robert Mueller on Saturday, writing that he was “glad” the former FBI director and special counsel who investigated the president’s 2016 campaign had died.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social shortly after MS Now broke the news that the 81-year-old former FBI Director had died.

Mueller, who last year disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, was one of Trump’s longtime targets. While his investigation did not conclude that the 2016 Trump campaign had actively sought out and coordinated with Russian entities attempting to sway the election, the probe cast a pall over much of Trump’s first term. It resulted in a series of indictments, leading to eight guilty pleas and the convictions at trial of prominent Trump allies, including political operative Roger Stone and former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.

Trump regularly attacked Mueller over the investigation, alleging the veteran and lifelong public servant was part of a vast, illegal Democratic conspiracy to remove Trump from power. Trump has leveled similar attacks against former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who oversaw the Justice Department’s investigations into Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, and Trump hoarding classified material at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, after he left office in 2021.

Trump’s crowing about Mueller’s death is not the first time the president has relished the death of his perceived enemies. When beloved director and frequent Trump critic Rob Reiner was brutally killed in his home in December, the president joked that he died because he had an “incurable” case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Its incredibly telling that Trump always said Mueller exonerated him.

This makes it pretty clear that was, as with everything else, a lie.
