NBC News’s Chuck Todd on Saturday brushed off President Trump after being called “Sleepy Eyes.”

“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.

About two hours earlier, Trump called the newsman “Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd” in a tweet telling NBC News to stop covering the investigations into Russian election interference.

It was not immediately apparent what NBC coverage Trump was taking issue with. 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 last month claimed in a series of tweets that Obama “wiretapped” him before the election. He did not supply any evidence.
