Tom Brokaw broke his silence Monday about his “Nightly News” successor Brian Williams, who is in month three of a six-month suspension.
The Williams ordeal is a “really, really, serious case,” Brokaw said at a University of Chicago Institute of Politics event.
“There’s a process underway,” he said. “And the important thing is that the process is very carefully constructed, and we owe it to everybody — including Brian and his family and certainly the people who work at NBC News who risk their lives everyday, and to the integrity of what NBC News has stood for all these years — to let the process play out, to hear what the final conclusions are and then deal with it at that point.”
