President Trump retweeted a post on Sunday by two supporters known as "Diamond and Silk" demanding that journalists back away from covering investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

"The Media Says: The President Should Stop Tweeting about Russia. Well, Why Don't the Media Take Their Own Advice & Stop Talking About It!" the tweet reads.

For his part, Trump has frequently railed on Twitter about the law enforcement investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 election and possible coordination between his campaign and Moscow.

He has repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia and has called the probe a "witch hunt."

His frequent use of Twitter, particularly his posts about the investigation, have drawn the scorn of fellow Republicans and some allies, who argue that by commenting on the probe he is fueling further controversy.
