President Trump said the memo House Intelligence Committee Democrats sent him last week was "very political" and suggested it was purposefully riddled with sensitive information in order to make his decision to block its release Friday look bad.

"The Democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and methods (and more), would have to be heavily redacted, whereupon they would blame the White House for lack of transparency," Trump said in a tweet Saturday morning.
