President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that the FBI failed to stop the Florida school shooting because it's spending too much time on the Russia investigation.

In one of many Russia-related tweets this weekend, Trump said: "Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign."

On Friday, the FBI admitted it failed to investigate a tip about the Parkland, Florida, shooter in January.
