NBC Nightly News dedicated a full segment on its Wednesday show to the continued reaction concerning the letter that was signed by 47 Republican Senators and sent to Iranian leaders. Predictably, the segment took to scolding the GOP by promoting a tweet by Hillary Clinton on the matter as well as a petition that calls for charges be brought against the signers under the Logan Act.

Interim anchor Lester Holt led things off by announcing that there were some “heated moments” on Capitol Hill when Obama administration officials “came face-to-face with Republicans who signed a letter warning Iran that any nuclear deal that it could strike with the U.S. may not be worth the paper it's printed on.”
