Tom Brokaw’s accuser Linda Vester insists she’s telling the truth about the famed newscaster allegedly assaulting her in the 1990s, individuals close to her told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Sources close to Vester and those familiar with how NBC handled the accusations say that NBC knew about her accusations against Brokaw for over a month, yet there is no evidence that the company took any action against him.
Instead, the internal letter of support towards Brokaw signed by big names like Rachel Maddow and Mika Brzezinski actually had a chilling effect on women working at NBC, sources told TheDCNF and other reports confirm.
A report from The New York Post stated that female employees felt pressure to put their name on the “women’s letter” that extolled Brokaw as “a man of tremendous decency and integrity.”
