President Trump took aim at Democrats seeking the release of Robert Mueller's full report on his years-long investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia on Friday, accusing them of inventing a cover-up.
Quoting an editorial published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal, Trump insinuated that Democrats had shifted their focus to proving that Attorney General William Barr was covering up the results of Mueller's investigation after having "lost" on the issue of collusion.

The editorial referenced by Trump was published Wednesday in the Journal and accuses Democratic lawmakers of shifting to accusing the attorney general of a cover up while "reeling" from the effects of Trump's political victory surrounding the end of the Mueller investigation without further charges being filed.

Muellers team assumed the information was going to be made available to the public, the official said, and so they prepared their summaries to be shared in their own words and not in the attorney generals summary of their work, as turned out to be the case.
