After Attorney General William Barr sent a letter to Congress Sunday saying that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation did not find evidence that President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign "conspired or coordinated" with Russia, several Massachusetts Democrats tweeted their outrage and demanded the full report be made public.

"Congress voted 420-0 to release the full Mueller report. Not a 'summary' from his handpicked Attorney General. AG Barr, make the full report public. Immediately," Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted shortly after Barr's letter to Congress was made public.

"You should not write a book report from Cliff’s Notes, and Congress should not make any final determinations from one summary. We need the full Mueller report and underlying documents," Sen. Ed Markey tweeted. "I want to read it all and so do the American people. Make it public."

"We received Cliff Notes from the President’s AG, not the full story," Rep. Katherine Clark tweeted. "The Mueller report must be made public, including the underlying investigative materials, and the House must continue its constitutional duty of oversight. #ReleaseMuellerReport."
