There’s speculation Brian Williams may have lied at least two more times after he admitted that he actually wasn’t on a helicopter that was hit with rocket fire during the Iraq war in 2003.

While it’s unclear if NBC’s internal investigation found any other instances where Williams lied, other news outlets have reported that the longtime anchor may have made up a few other stories. Last week, Williams, the host of “NBC Nightly News”,” was temporarily suspended by NBC after an internal investigation.

As the Huffington Post notes, Williams may have made up traveling with Navy SEAL Team 6, the elite military unit that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. He started talking about his experiences with Team 6, including during a “Late Show With David Letterman” segment, where he said that “it happens to be a team I flew into Baghdad with, on the condition that I would never speak of what I saw on the aircraft, what aircraft we were on, what we were carrying, or who we were after.”
