Insiders tell TVNewser Richard Leibner, who was at the event, was telling people he is “David Gregory’s agent of record” but that he was not involved in the negotiations.

But an NBC News spokesperson responds, not to HuffPo, but to Politico‘s Michael Calderone with this: “I don’t know where they are getting this. We have nothing to announce.”

Meanwhile, Gregory’s agent Richard Leibner would neither confirm nor deny the report when the NY Observer’s Felix Gillette asked.
