Yet another sexual misconduct allegation against Matt Lauer has been revealed in Ronan Farrow's new book "Catch and Kill."
The book, which was released Tuesday, started making headlines last week when outlets that received an advanced copy of the book read for the first time about the rape allegation that led to Lauer's firing form NBC in 2017.
