Shortly after the Associated Press reported the death of former FBI director Robert Mueller, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate his passing.

“Robert Mueller just died,” Trump wrote. “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Mueller’s family confirmed his death in a statement to AP on Saturday, writing, “With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away. His family asks that their privacy be respected.” Mueller was 81 years old.
