A segment about the recent developments in the Harvey Weinstein scandal took a bit of a turn on 'CBS This Morning' Monday when the Obama family came up in conversation.

CBS News contributor and New York Times correspondent Jodi Kantor was on the program to speak about her four month investigation into the executive and the news on Sunday that he had been terminated by the board of directors.

It was while they were going to break that guest host Bianna Golodryga, who was filling in for Norah O'Donnell, simply mentioned the fact that Malia Obama had interned for Weinstein.

That caused King to quickly announce that the Obamas did not know, despite not having an concrete evidence to confirm that fact.

'I think the question stands who protected Harvey Weinstein, who protected the women. Did the women feel they could speak up? Would anybody believe them?' said Kantor at the close of the segment.

'Don't forget the Obamas' daughter interned for him this last summer,' pointed out Golodryga.

Then, as host Golodryga said 'thank you' to Kantor for appearing and remarked what great reporting she had done, King cut her off to state: 'If they would have suspected this, they would have never done it.'

King had no quote or actual comment to confirm that statement however, but still elected to announce it on air.

Golodryga then tried to amend King's statement by saying: 'They're asking the same questions I assume too.'

This move comes one day after CBS came under fire for a report on Colin Kaepernick that falsely stated he had promised to stand for the national anthem if drafted to play for a team in the NFL.

Jason La Canfora said in a series of tweets on Sunday that he was relaying previous reporting about Kaepernick and did not ask whether the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback would sit or stand during the anthem when he spoke about his interview with the player during a pregame show.

The reversal came after anchor James Brown asked La Canfora on 'The NFL Today' : 'And kneeling, he said?'

La Canfora responded: 'He's not planning on kneeling. He's going to donate all his jersey sales and he's planning on standing for the anthem if given the opportunity, J.B.'

La Canfora tweeted later that he does not know what Kaepernick would do during the anthem.

Relying on unnamed sources, ESPN reported in March that Kaepernick would stand during the anthem if he played again. But Kaepernick has not spoken publicly about what he would do.

After La Canfora backed off his earlier report, Kaepernick tweeted: 'A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.'
