On Wednesday Williams, NBC News' top anchor, confessed he "bungled" a story he had told on air about being in a helicopter that was shot down by an RPG in 2003. His admission came after multiple soldiers questioned the tale, which he has told on multiple occasions, and revealed he was actually not in the aircraft.

Turness' email said NBC News is "working on what the best next steps are" to address the situation.

Since the story broke on Wednesday, Williams' reporting on Hurricane Katrina has also been called into question. According to multiple reports, NBC News has launched an internal investigation into the matter.

NBC has not responded to requests for comment from Business Insider about the reported investigation or whether Williams will face disciplinary action.
