Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump is blasting Democrats for trying to obtain special counsel Robert Mueller's report, despite previously endorsing their goal of releasing it to the public.

He is attacking Democrats for trying to do something he ostensibly supports: Letting the American people see Mueller's findings on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, allegations of collusion between his campaign and the Russians, and potential obstruction of justice.

"I'll rely on the attorney general to make decisions," Trump said Tuesday at the White House. "But I will tell you, anything that is given to (Democrats) will never be good enough. You could give them more documents than they've ever seen, and it would never be good enough."

All along, Trump has maintained that he'll defer to Attorney General William Barr when it comes to releasing the report, and Barr has promised "transparency." But as Barr prepares to share the report with Congress -- a process he says could take another week or two -- it looks like Trump might be realizing the dangers of giving Democrats what they want.

The President is well-known for often changing his mind, and he still has time to assert more control over the process if he wants to. Trump could be giving himself an off-ramp by saying his Democratic foes will never be satisfied, even if they see the nearly 400-page report.
