“I met with Linda Vester on two occasions, both at her request, 23 years ago, because she wanted advice with respect to her career at NBC,” he said in a statement issued by NBC. “The meetings were brief, cordial and appropriate, and despite Linda’s allegations, I made no romantic overtures towards her, at that time or any other.”
Another woman also told The Post that Brokaw acted inappropriately toward her in the ’90s, when she was a production assistant and he was an anchor. Brokaw also denied this incident.
