Robert Mueller Dies at 81, Trump Immediately Claims He’s Safer Now

KEY POINTS

  • Robert Mueller, former FBI director and special counsel for the 2016 Russia probe, died Saturday at age 81.
  • His investigation led to a series of criminal charges against associates of President Trump and sparked the president's long-lasting resentment.
  • Trump posted on Truth Social that he was glad Mueller was dead, claiming Mueller could no longer harm 'innocent people.'

Robert Mueller, the FBI director known for starring as the villain in Trump’s 2016 Russia saga, died Saturday at age 81, leaving behind a legacy of eyebrow-raising indictments that made Trump’s Twitter feed go on permanent assault mode. Mueller’s special counsel probe turned into a criminal hot potato handing convictions to multiple Trump associates, which earned him the fond nickname: America’s Most Annoying Antagonist. Trump himself couldn’t resist Truth Social, posting a line that reads like a high school bully’s diary entry: 'Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!' Because, you know, Mueller was definitely hurting 'innocent' Trump fans.
