Yes he was. And Lauer softballed it.

I was caught out by one thing Lester said though, before doing the interview he said he needed to let everyone know that NBC has a working relationship with The Intercept. I never heard anything about that.

That working relationship might have been why Lauer threw softballs, not wanting to upset an applecart set up by his superiors. Given that situation, I’d likely throw a couple softballs then slink away myself.
