NBC News is the news division of the NBC television network, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal and Comcast. It produces news programming across NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC platforms. NBC News is the outlet that conducted anchor Lester Holt’s May 2017 interview with Donald Trump, in which Trump stated he had “this Russia thing” in mind when he decided to fire FBI Director James Comey. That statement became evidence in the Mueller Report’s obstruction of justice analysis and was among the most significant public admissions related to the investigation.
