ALERT: BREAKING Here’s More on the Matt Lauer Allegations [READ MORE]
This morning Trump Train News has learned that NBC fired longtime “Today” host Matt Lauer amid allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
“Today” hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb informed viewers the news this morning.
According to an article from NBC:
In a memo to employees sent Wednesday morning, NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said the complaint, which was made by a colleague of Lauer’s, prompted a serious review and represented a “clear violation of our company’s standards.”
Lack said it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer, 59, for his behavior since he took over as anchor of the show in 1997, but there was “reason to believe” it may not have been an isolated incident.
“Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected, and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender,” Lack said.
Guthrie said, “As I’m sure you can imagine, we are devastated and we are still processing all of this.”
We will continue to follow this development.
