By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 20 at 1:47 PM President Trump on Wednesday said he doesn’t mind if special counsel Robert S. Mueller III releases his report to the public when it is finished, amid signs that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign may be winding down.
The House last week voted overwhelmingly to release Mueller’s report in its entirety once it is completed, but the resolution was blocked by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham in the Senate. “Explain that, because my voters don’t get it, and I don’t get it,” Trump said. “Now, at the same time, let it come out. Let people see it. That’s up to the attorney general . . . and we’ll see what happens.”Trump took aim at Mueller, who has spearheaded the investigation for nearly two years, as someone who had written his report “out of the blue.”
Sounds like he’s gotten Barr to agree to not release it. He can later argue he wanted it released.
Trump has no mind.
everyone knows he has nothing to hide.😂😂
Game Point! To the Washington Post, The Truth Shall Set You Free.
Seems to me the republicans/russian assets in congress don't want it released. Maybe a lot of them think they might be in it.
Read up on narcissism, you'll understand most of Trump's behaviour - stubborness, bullishness, selfishness, attention seeking, picking fights, etc. Scary thing is that his followers are moulding their attitudes along these lines least aware they are actually learning a sickness.
After reading traits about narcissists, I feel sorry for America, they are in for a long rough ride with this man. There is going to be a big nasty fight with many casualties. The RUSSIANS knew exactly what they were doing when they installed a narcissist in the WH. Believe me.
And you believe that bs?
Yet he hired the AG to protect him and hide the report! More proof that he continues to obstruct justice!!! Impeach and remove him from office!
Sounds like his tax returns tactics- let them see it - to - don’t release, because no one cares...
Trump added on....if the Attorney General says it is OK, then it is OK. Now Trump has to tell the Attorney General not to allow it. This will be done in private of course. If ound out, Trump will deny he even spoke with his A.G.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Horse sh*t. Now he can say he wants it released but the AG won't allow it for national security reasons or some other nonsense. Kind of like his tax returns being audited excuse.
He has nothing to hide
He also said he would show his taxes. WhyBelieveHimNow
This should work out well for him.
Because democracy dies in darkness!
Well, okay then.
Ain't he swell?
You guys are so gullible no wonder got Trump elected. He is saying if report was credible & legal it can be released but since it was carried by an unelected official and not overseen by Attorney General it is not valid. Remember 'I will release my taxes when audit is complete'
He also said he was going to release his taxes after audit and, would definitely sit down and talk to Mueller. So that's Trump lie number 356,254.
Trump believes he's bulletproof. Probably still cained from the 80's
Translation: let the people see the Mueller Report... AFTER we’re done crossing/cutting out anything that might make me look bad, or look “prosecutable”.
Right, blowhard! In 2 days you will swear you never said that!
But we all know Trump LIES
Trump that Shiiiiiiit in your Pants is Really Starting to SMELL Trump ,You are a Joke of a President!
keep in mind Donnie lies about EVERYTHING! Chances are he said no such thing and likely the exact opposite.
Yes, 'he' doesn't mind. But his 'lawyers' will object, redact, and restate everything in the report before we, the public, set our eyes on it.
The democrats should be the ones trying to hide the report - they'll be exposing the fact they spend over $20m on nothing. Hopefully people will see how they wasted tax payer money.
Until later....
Of course he doesn't mind. The Barr fix is in.
And you believe him, Pleeeese 😏 Didn't he tweet that Kellyannes husband was angry because he wouldn't give him a job Then the husband brought out a letter were 45 had offered him a DOJ position...but the husband TURNED IT DOWN Get it through your heads: YOUR PREZ IS A LIAR
TaxReturns
His innards are stewing and churning you can his disgusting squirming two states away.
Why do you guys report on every single thing he says. You know goodness well when the report is ready he will do everything in his power to stop it from being public. I did not have to go to school for Journalism to know that. DUH.
Good, I would love to see it.
Bingo!
Soon to be cited in court.
Yeah we paid for it ! Not your decsion !
Behind the doors he will do everything to block it forever.
I’m so practicing Frank Sinatra’s hit song. Can we sing it en masse. 😁😁😁
realDonaldTrump CNN SpeakerPelosi maddow SenateGOP “Let them see it” Trump has done everything possible to block the report. What a hypocrite!!
That’s bullshit.
Because he believes the seeds of doubt have been sown. It could literally show he conspired and laundered money during the campaign and his idiot followers would be fine with it. The ends justify the means, his supporters want a white america.
If he's making noise he's lying. Why would any one quote him on any noise he makes?
Let Them Eat Cake.
Yeah well, Trump also said we could see his Taxes... Ironic huh...?
Is this gonna be like your tax returns. You will probably say some stuff needs to be redacted and you will black out everything then you will say you released it. You still under that audit. Also where's your wifes citizen papers we are still waiting
This is the same person that said he would be happy to testify under oath to Robert Mueller. realDonaldTrump is a compulsive liar
Trump doesn’t know what's going on, and he wouldn't know what to do about it if he did. Credit idea to George Carlin
Because there is nothing in it.
More horseshit, he will say he wants us to see it but his lawyers won’t allow it. Just like the taxes! Wake up people.
Mueller and the judge violated the fruit of the poison tree by using the Steel dossier, they should both go to prison!
Translation: told Barr under no circumstances does the report see the light of day.
I really think democrats don’t want the report out in the public
Good we deserve to see the outcome of this investigation.
He's lying again
Dotus is full of shit as always, but no matter. Honestly, I think Mueller's got this. He's been at least two steps ahead of everything so far. Not sure if we're really in the home stretch but I think he'll close well.
Of course he doesn't mind. As soon as the report is released, he'll be on his way to seek asylum in Russia.
You’re about to feel The PAIN
This is a game. Lindsey blocks it to give Barr cover. Barr provides Trump cover. Then Trump can claim 'he wanted it public'.
He’ll just deny he said it...in a tweet....early tomorrow morning.
Ok good. Thanks, pee-resident drumpf.
and gave himself a back door, an out w/ AG‼️‼️💇♂️
He means just the opposite; he has no intention of..,
He is lying. He always means exactly the opposite of what he says when it comes to himself
If there's one thing that's certain, it's that Donald Trump never lies and that whatever he says is most definitely what he means.
He’s lying. Pretty sure Barr had to “promise” him he wouldn’t release it, in order to get the job. Hoping when the time comes Barr will care more about the truth and release it.
Typical Trump. He says this now and will fight it tooth and nail later. Where are those TAX RETURNS we were promised
'After my lawyers and I redact the crap out of it'.
How about your taxes?
he says that knowing he told Barr it will never happen !!!!!! Liar TrumpFail
That because he thinks the incriminating parts about him will be redacted!
BS. He always starts out that way.
*fakepresident*
realDonaldTrump is toying with the media. He in no way wants that unredacted report released to Congress. I think he has been told he cannot stonewall it.
He also lies. Constantly.
The SDNY docs and indictments will be way more exciting.
He 's lying because he knows he doesn't control it.
Watch it will change because it always does!!!!!
He also said he’d sit for questions. Bluffing.
Trump doesn't realize that other people read.
Gaslighting again.
PuebloUnidoJamásSeráVencido PuebloVictoriosoYAlerta LealesSiempreTraidoresNunca HandsOffVenezuela
Remember him saying this. When the Mueller report is finished and he doesn't like something in it he will go back on ever having said this.
He says, knowing full well that he’s threatened his lawyers not to let it out.
Yeah. And he'll release his taxes as soon as the 'audit' is done.
Only ones who don't want it public are the Democrats and you, the MSM. Because you know people will see it has nothing about Russian Collusion and $50 million dollars went down the drain. Democrats did the same with Kavanaugh, when they demanded the FBI investigation be sealed.
He says, knowing that every attempt will be made to bury it.
Promises made, promises kept. DECLASTHEFISA RELEASETHEREPORT
Great! Now how about letting us see you grades and tax returns?
He’s more nervous about people seeing his school transcripts
He’s just gonna say it’s all lies anyway
Bold prediction: When the report is finished, he will both declare that public shouldn't see it and claim he never said they should.
This reminds me of an old country song, 'Almost Persuaded.'
If only there is even an iota of value to what realDonaldTrump says.
No excuse to hide it now........
I’m sure not what he’s telling his lawyers
Yeah right, he’ll forget he said that by tmrw morning around 4am.
Let's see it! Let us see the smoking gun. After more than 2 yrs, we are biting at the bit for the smoking gun!
As a Trump supporter, I can not wait to see the report
Will this be the 1001 time he makes a promise that he never keeps? He doesn’t even blink when he lies cuz his party and his supporters are supreme enablers.
“Them”
Of course he doesn’t !!!!!
Exactly..our president is so all over the place on Meller that by this time tomorrow WaPo will be posting a story that Spanky doesn't want Barr to release the Report to the public. Individual-1 's words mean nothing.🍊🍕💩
100% certain Trump is honestly presenting his final decision on this yes for certain this isn’t a front for the cameras because Trump is Honest Trump is good and would never never lie for his own benefit or say untruthful things to media in his own name or under pseudonym or th..
'let them see it' 'not gonna let them see it'
Says the man who also said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?”
Déjà vu Kavanaugh report. Behind the scenes the White House and Trump covered up what really mattered. How many times did we see Trump on the front lawn indicating he was not getting involved with the investigation when in fact it was the opposite. This man lies constantly.
He said he'd release his tax returns, sit down with Mueller and answer his questions,
There’s one critical proviso there that we all know negates his blasé response: his AG has to agree. We all know what Trump has likely commanded his AG not to do, on pain of firing.
Words mean nothing, if he doesn't mind why has he spent so much time trying to keep it from them. Oh , that was his lackey's ... Plausible Deniability is a thing ;)
hahahahaa .... tomorrow he will say no! 🤥
Nothing to see but a bunch of made up bullshit... Trump has won every challenge thrown at him just as he will win the 2020 election.
yup the same way he said he would SIT DOWN and talk to Mueller
I do believe the report should be made public. I also hope the results are accepted by either side it doesn't favor. If it is incriminating, we should support impeachment. If it shows he is innocent, I hope the left offers a sincere apology.
Next we'll find out he wants to release it but can't cuz it's under audit
This is bait and switch! He’ll deny saying this as soon as the report is ready to go
He's lying again.
😂 all the triggered libs are Confused and angered because Trump actually wants Americans to see the Mueller report. They want him to be guilty so bad and have completely ignores the fact that Mueller has charged ZERO people with Russian Collusion. Get ready for the letdown libs
Just like his taxes when the “audit” is done, right?
Robert California tells Andy under no circumstances should he hire Mrs. California to work in the office...
But not the documents the Intel Committee has requested? What’s an “innocent man” got to hide? WhatIsTrumpHiding
