Source: Internal Investigation Finds Brian Williams Lied 10 Times

An internal investigation into allegations of lies made by NBC anchor Brian Williams has found that the journalist reportedly embellished stories 10 times during his journalistic career, a source close to the investigation claims.

A source close to NBC's internal investigation claims that the network has discovered that Williams allegedly lied 10 times in relation to his journalistic reporting during his career. Williams, who anchored "NBC Nightly News," was suspended in August after admitting to "misremembering" an incident during the Iraq War when he claimed to be in a military helicopter hit by enemy fire, when in fact he had not been in the helicopter.

Both The Washington Post and The New York Times cited sources close to the investigation who told the media outlets that investigators have allegedly found more critical evidence against the NBC journalist.

A source claiming to be close to the investigation told the New York Times that investigators have "examined a half-dozen instances in which [Williams] is thought to have fabricated, misrepresented or embellished his accounts."

Dan Rather, former news anchor for "CBS Evening News," recently told CNN that he found it "vicious" that media outlets were reporting on Williams' alleged offenses when the journalist is unable to speak for himself.

 "[…] it's very hard to see how NBC brings him back. I hope I'm wrong about this. I said some time ago that I thought his chances were slim to none, and you can make a case that slim just left town with these leaks to 'The Washington Post' and 'The New York Times,' vicious really in their own way," Rather said.
