On Thursday, MSNBC’s Brian Williams finally mentioned the words “Russia,” “uranium” and “Clinton” in the same segment BUT it was only to dismiss President Donald Trump’s criticism of the media’s failure to cover this week’s new revelations in the growing scandal.

Williams began his October 19 segment on The llth Hour program, by playing a clip of the President’s blast against the liberal media and then recited Trump’s earlier tweet: “Uranium deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama Administration knowledge, is the biggest story that Fake Media doesn’t want to follow.”

However, instead of telling his viewers about the important news from this week (like the fact that an FBI informant was threatened by the Obama administration), he brought on McClatchy White House correspondent Anita Kumar to dismiss the story as old news that they’ve already covered.

After Williams asked Kumar to “explain to our viewers why they’re gonna hear more on this Russia – this uranium scandal.” Kumar responded: “I have to say that he is wrong about one thing. We covered a lot about uranium during the campaign. This is a deal that took place during the Obama administration when Secretary Clinton was Secretary of State and the administration approved of it. But what he has forgotten is that we wrote tons of stories about this when she was a candidate for president. She is not president. So, things aren’t – you know – they’re not being covered as heavily any more.”

Kumar added “We are gonna hear about it because Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee says he wants to look into this issue because a newspaper, The Hill, wrote about issues with that deal many years ago. They wrote about how there were all sorts of kickbacks and bribery and that sort of thing.”

That’s it. Just a vague reference to “kickbacks and bribery.” Kumar never went into details about the newest revelations dug up by The Hill’s John Solomon and Alison Spann. Details like the Obama administration knowing about about Russia’s payments to The Clinton Foundation and still allowed the uranium deal to go through and also how the administration threatened an FBI informant who wanted to come forward.

The following is the entirety of Williams’ 2 minute, 41 second segment as it was aired on the October 19 edition of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Brian Williams:
