Former “Today” show host Matt Lauer has denied a bombshell claim of sexual assault that was made by a former NBC staffer, saying they are “categorically false.”

He wrote a letter on Wednesday in response to Ronan Farrow’s book, “Catch and Kill,” in which a woman named Brooke Nevils claimed that he assaulted her in his hotel room in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.
