NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas Full Episode - Oct. 26

James Comey is facing criminal charges for the third time, and NBC Nightly News made it the first story of its Oct. 26 broadcast. According to NBC's report, the newly unsealed federal charges concern an alleged leak of defense information in 2016. Comey led the FBI from 2013 until President Trump fired him in May 2017. Senior legal correspondent Laura Jarrett covers his response to the charges and gives an update on a lawsuit brought by his daughter.

The full episode drew roughly 240,000 views since yesterday, making it the most watched of NBC News' new videos. The rest of the broadcast is a tour of a busy week.

With the midterms a week away, Monica Alba follows Trump and Barack Obama on the campaign trail, with a focus on Senate races in Mississippi and Michigan. In Michigan, Republican Mike Rogers, a former FBI agent who once chaired the House Intelligence Committee, faces Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist. Dana Griffin reports on king tides flooding communities on both coasts while rivers overflow in the Southwest, and Aaron Gilchrist reports on the search in Tennessee for escaped convicted murderer Jacob Allen Morley.

Abroad, Gabe Gutierrez covers the large crowds greeting María Corina Machado after her return to Venezuela. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner now opposes interim president Delcy Rodríguez, who took over after Nicolás Maduro was captured during the U.S. intervention. Back home, Llamas reports that Microsoft has offered voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees worldwide.

The lighter stories come near the end. Jesse Kirsch reports on Jaythan Gilder, convicted of grand theft after swallowing more than $750,000 in Tiffany diamonds during a Florida traffic stop. According to an affidavit, Gilder asked whether he would be charged with what was in his stomach. The broadcast also covers the Florida youth soccer dispute in which police were called to a three-year-old's game.

The closing "There's Good News Tonight" segment follows Staff Sgt. Leland Shaw as he surprises his four daughters at their schools and games after months away. "Just seeing them all together, I can't even express that amount of joy," his wife, Deborah Shaw, says.
