NBC Anchor, Middletown Native Brian Williams Reportedly Made At Least 10 Exaggerations, Embellishments

NBC anchor Brian Williams’ reports have had at least 10 instances of exaggerations and embellishments made by the Middletown native, according to in-house investigators assigned to look into the case.

The investigation is not yet complete, and it’s unclear whether Williams has had a chance to defend himself, according to a CNN report.

NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke was briefed at a Thursday morning meeting in New York, and the meeting suggests that the network is nearing a decision about Williams’ future, according to the report.

Williams, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” was suspended nearly three months ago when he exaggerated an account of an Iraq War mission in 2003.

Williams attended the Save the Seraphs gala in March, a fundraiser held to try to prevent the closing of Mater Dei Prep in Middletown, according to published reports.

According to The Seraph Fund, $95,000 was raised at the gala at the Shore Casino in Atlantic Highlands, and a total of $962,000 has been raised toward the $1 million goal.

Williams, a 1977 graduate of Mater Dei, donated $50,000 to the fund, according to the Asbury Park Press.
