Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, called President Donald Trump's response to the death of former FBI director and special counsel Robert Mueller "disgusting," after the president said he was "glad" to hear of Mueller's death.
"It's so heartbreaking that we have a president who is cheerleading the death of American citizens." Murphy told NBC's "Meet the Press" on March 22. "Mueller is amongst many who have been trying to hold this president to account."
The former FBI director, who also served as special counsel investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, died last week at age 81. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2021.
"With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away last night," Mueller's family said in a March 21 statement
Trump reacted to the news in a social media post, telling his followers, "Good, I’m glad he’s dead."
