Brian Williams Steps Down from Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation

Brian Williams has stepped down today from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation just weeks after NBC News suspended him for six months for embellishing war stories.

The foundation announced on its website today, “Brian Williams has resigned from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation Board of Directors. He had served in that position since September 2006.”

Williams’ ultimate fate is unknown at this point, as NBC has scrubbed his name from the newscast and there’s been some speculation he may not come back at the end of the six months.
