The hits just keep on coming for Brian Williams.
Former SEAL Team Six member Don Mann went on CNN to call foul an another piece of Williams lore: that he was embedded with Seal Team Six, and was later gifted a piece of fuselage from a helicopter that crashed on the Bin Laden mission.
“By all accounts…What Brian Williams is saying, none of it can be true,” Mann said. “For a reporter to be embedded with SEAL Team Six or any Tier One unit — that just doesn’t happen. The objective of SEAL Team Six or any Tier One unit is to conceal …The last thing in the world we would want is to have a reporter sitting in a helicopter embedded with one of these units. It would hurt the United States in many ways.”
Mann said he had previously not heard Williams’ claim of being embedded with the SEALs. He challenged Williams to produce the supposed piece of fuselage on air.
He also cast doubt on the idea that SEAL members would collect wreckage from the scene to give to a reporter. “There’s no way in the world that would happen. That would be criminal.”
Several other SEALs have questioned this same story in recent days.
