The controversy that has plagued NBC and Brian Williams for over three months now just keeps getting thicker.

According to CNNMoney, the "NBC Nightly News" anchor is now under fire for at least 10 embellishments of his on-air reporting, which comes from an in-house review that dug into his past stories.

CNNMoney's sources spoke to them on condition of anonymity, but all information points to the fact that Williams has had a clear pattern of embellishing his news stories. Although the investigation is not yet complete, according to the anonymous source, it still remains unclear as to whether or not Williams has had a chance to defend himself to his own bosses.

Williams has been barred from making any public comments about this matter to any members of the press. NBC has not allowed him to present any public defense for himself either.

The scandal of course started when Williams aired an inaccurate account of his reporting on an Iraq War mission in 2003. Initially, Williams had taken himself off the air, citing himself being inserted as a news story. That quickly led to a six-month suspension by NBC, pending further review. The actual suspension will expire in August, but the network, which is owned by Comcast, has been under external and internal pressure to complete the investigation well ahead of time. 

The Washington Post reports that there are 11 instances that have turned up in a report of the multi-month investigation, citing an unnamed source familiar with the probe. The original Iraq claim was purported to be one of those 11 claims cited.

The team of NBC News journalists that have been undertaking the investigative task, led by senior executive producer Richard Esposito, have also flagged some of Williams comments in regards to his experience with the Israel/Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon back in 2006.

A spokesperson for NBC News has declined to comment on the matter as well as Williams' attorney. There is also no definite answer as to whether Esposito's team investigation will report their findings to the public at any point either.
