Brian Williams is stepping away from NBC Nightly News for several days.
The anchor sent a note to the show's staff, announcing that Lester Holt is replacing him this week. The news comes as the anchor is embroiled in a scandal surrounding his story about being a passenger in a helicopter that took fire in the Iraq War.
Williams' message can be seen, below.
"In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions.
"As Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us."
More to come...

Days? Does he think this will blow over in days?
Who is replacing Brian Williams? He better hope it’s someone who can barely fog a mirror and not a real up and comer or he’ll realize how worthless he really is.
I’ll bet it’s that 90 year old guy from Face the Nation.
Do the honorable thing, Bri, make it... forever!
Numbing
Banal
Chattering
Williams should be removed for not covering the IRS and Benghazi scandals etc, even before this, along with all the CBS and ABC guys.
I learned in creative writing as a small boy...who, why, when where and what...the beginning of journalism, none of the 3 Networks anchors are fit for duty, nor will their replacements be

Ever time OBAMA opens his mouth he lies..I think it is time that Muslim is impeached..drive him and the witch out of Washington on the broom they came in on..
BRIAN WILLIAMS and the other so called news groups should all be fired and hire someone that is not liars..I guess Brian thought since OBAMA gets away with the lies he and his lying news people can too.
He thinks that after 3 days, everyone will forget.
After 3 days he will rise from the dead.
