An internal investigation by NBC Universal concluded that sexual misconduct accusations made by four women against former “Today” show host Matt Lauer are credible, according to a report released Wednesday. NBC noted that two of Lauer’s four accusers said they believed the network’s leadership “knew or must have known” about their star anchor’s misconduct. The report countered a claim by former “Today” anchor Ann Curry, who said she reported Lauer’s misconduct in 2012. NBC also addressed Lauer’s now-infamous “button,” a device under his desk that allowed him to close his office door without standing up. The company said it remains interested in hearing from other women who experienced sexual misconduct by Lauer.
