'But the Democrats, no matter what we give them, will NEVER be satisfied. A total waste of time,' tweeted the president.

While Attorney General William Barr reviews and redacts sensitive information from the nearly 400 pages of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's full report on the two-year investigation into Russian election interference, President Donald Trump claimed Saturday that he has not yet seen the document.

Trump's tweet continued,"13 Angry Trump hating Dems given two years and $30 million, and they found No Collusion, No Obstruction. But the Democrats, no matter what we give them, will NEVER be satisfied. A total waste of time." Similarly, the Washington Post reported this week that some special counsel investigators had complained about the Barr summary, claiming that it omitted potentially"alarming and significant" evidence of obstruction.

Likewise, Republican Senator John Kennedy claimed this week that releasing an unredacted Mueller report could put lives in danger. “I don’t want to get anybody killed by violating national security concerns,” Kennedy, of Louisiana, told CNN’s Manu Raju Friday morning.
