Former special counsel Robert Mueller dies, Trump says he is glad

Robert Mueller, the former special counsel who led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, has died at 81. The investigation, which examined potential links between the Trump campaign and Russia, did not establish a criminal conspiracy but detailed multiple contacts between the two.

President Donald Trump responded to the news by saying he was "glad" Mueller was dead, calling him a "true Trump hater." This statement drew widespread criticism from political figures and commentators, who called the remarks disrespectful.
