I love how so many of these stories feature a variation on the phrase "It wasn't immediately clear what this scumbag fuckwad was referring to".
TRUMP TELLS NBC TO STOP COVERING RUSSIA
STORY
Elliot Smilowitz
Trump on Saturday called
for NBC News to devote more attention to his unproven claims that President
Obama spied on him and stop covering the investigations into Russia's
interference in the election.
"When will Sleepy
Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL
and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story?" Trump tweeted just before 9
a.m.
"It is the same Fake
News Media that said there is 'no path to victory for Trump' that is now
pushing the phony Russia story. A total scam!" he added shortly after.
It was not immediately
apparent what NBC coverage Trump was taking issue with. Chuck Todd on Friday
interviewed top Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell and former
Obama press secretary Josh Earnest on
"MTP Daily" about the latest Russia developments.
Russian interference in
last year's election is the subject of investigations by the Senate
Intelligence Committee, House Intelligence Committee and the FBI.
Trump's former national
security adviser Michael Flynn has volunteered to be
interviewed by the FBI and congressional committees probing possible links
between the Trump campaign and Russia in exchange for immunity from
prosecution.
The president has
frequently decried coverage of the investigations into Russian meddling as
"fake news."
Trump last month claimed
in a series of tweets that Obama "wiretapped" him before the
election. He did not supply any evidence.
FBI Director James Comey
says he knows of "no information" validating Trump's accusation.
Trump has stood by the allegations, and the White House has said the comment
refers to the Obama administration's surveillance activities more broadly.
Meanwhile, Todd on
Saturday brushed off Trump's "Sleepy Eyes" tweet: "For those
wondering, I slept well even tho I stayed up late watching the #msstate upset
of UConn. #cowbell. Don't feel sleepy at all though," Todd tweeted.
