PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump reacted harshly Saturday to the death of former special counsel Robert Mueller at age 81, saying about the man who probed false Russia-collusion claims for year: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

On Sunday, Kristen Welker, anchor or NBC’s “Meet the Press,” tried to trap Scott Bessent, Trump’s treasury secretary, with gotcha questions, hoping he would criticize the president for the remark.
