Mueller said he could not reach a conclusion about whether President Trump obstructed justice, but he also said he could not exonerate Trump.

Trump posted on social media that, quote, I'm glad he's dead.

He can no longer hurt innocent people.

Mueller, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and Marine, was 81 years old.

President Trump has called the former FBI director a liar and a leaker, and he's blamed Jim Comey for an investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia years ago.

Now, a grand jury in Florida has issued a new subpoena to Comey, according to a source familiar with the matter.

It seems to be part of a broader case focused on U.S.

intelligence reports about foreign election interference.

Comey's lawyer declined to comment.

Also, DOJ is fighting to revive a separate case against Comey that a judge threw out after finding the U.S.

attorney in Virginia had been appointed illegally.

Comey says he's the target of vindictive prosecution, and there's no basis to charge him with any wrongdoing.

The nonprofit group Fix the Court says Michigan Judge Thomas Luddington engaged in behavior that maligns his office and runs afoul of high standards federal judges are expected to follow.

Judge Luddington faces a jury trial over the alcohol-related incident in May.

This week, the judge took a voluntary leave of absence pending the resolution of the state charge against him.

Fix the Court says the judge continued to hear federal cases for months after his arrest.
