President Trump early Sunday said the special election for Montana's open House seat wasn't well covered after the Republican candidate came out victorious.

"Does anyone notice how the Montana Congressional race was such a big deal to Dems & Fake News until the Republican won?" Trump tweeted.

"V was poorly covered."

Republican Greg Gianforte won the special election last week for Montana's House seat despite an altercation ahead of the election that led to an assault charge against him.

After the victory, Trump praised Gianforte's victory, calling it a "great win."

Gianforte apologized to the reporter involved in the confrontation during his victory speech Thursday night.

"Last night, I made a mistake and I took an action that I cant take back — and I'm not proud of what happened," he said.

"I should not have responded in the way that I did and for that I'm sorry."

Trump's latest tweet came after a series of other Sunday morning posts in which the president touted his first trip abroad and said he believes many of the leaks coming out of the White House are made up.
