Former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III died at 81, leaving behind a legacy of combating terrorism. His family requested privacy following his passing.
However, Donald Trump's response sparked outrage online, writing 'I'm glad he's dead' on Truth Social, claiming Mueller 'can no longer hurt innocent people!'
Trump's remarks drew widespread criticism, with many calling him 'petty, vindictive, and terrified of accountability.'
Mueller served as FBI Director from 2001, initiating a comprehensive reform of the bureau's mission to address 21st-century law enforcement requirements.
He later served as special counsel in the Justice Department's inquiry into potential illegal coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
