In a speech Wednesday morning, Donald Trump described Hillary Clinton as a “world class liar,” and then compared her to former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, who was removed from his post as NBC’s top anchor for lying about coming under attack in Iraq.
“Brian Williams’ career was destroyed for saying less, just remember that” Trump said in a speech carried live on MSNBC, where Williams currently works as a breaking news anchor–and introduced Trump’s speech.
That awkward time Trump referenced Brian Williams' career being destroyed by lies while Brian Williams was covering him.

It’s not the first time Trump has used Williams in an attack on Clinton:
