Billy Bush Details NBC Response to Trump Remarks

Billy Bush, former Access Hollywood anchor, revealed he reported Donald Trump's lewd comments about Nancy O'Dell to NBC producers immediately after their 2005 bus conversation, but did not initially hear or report the now-infamous 'grab them by the p---y' remark. Bush alleges NBC buried his warning to protect Trump, a significant ratings and financial asset due to The Apprentice. He claims NBC prioritized its relationship with Trump and that, had the tape leaked in 2005, he would have been fired for jeopardizing the network's interests. When the Access Hollywood tape surfaced in 2016, Bush was fired from the Today show, while Trump faced minimal consequences and won the presidency. Bush has expressed regret for his actions and frustration over the lack of support from NBC colleagues. He maintains NBC protected Trump at the expense of addressing misconduct.
