Billy Bush claims he reported Trump’s ‘Access Hollywood’ tape in 2005

Ancient Access to Hollywood The Billy Bush anchor says he warned NBC of the famous conversation recorded with Donald Trump several years before his escape in 2016, but the network would have kept buried to protect their “milk cow”.

Bush raised the incident when appearing on the Siriusxm podcast Literally! With Rob Lowesaying to Parks and leisure Alum that he reported the obscene comments of the president “the day of the shooting” in 2005.

“I called my producer [and] said, ‘You won’t believe what Trump said. He goes after Nancy. All I said was ‘Nancy O’Dell’ because I didn’t hear other things, “Bush told Lowe, referring to his Access to Hollywood O’Dell colleague. “I said, ‘He tries to make it sleep with her the purchases of Nancy furniture. It’s crazy. He started it again! The guy is an animal!'”

Bush said he reported that Trump’s comments on O’Dell to his superior – apparently leaving Trump’s comments on the seizure of women by the genitals despite himself by answering him in the video – but claims that the warning was seated “in an office forever”.

“If this band had been sunk when it occurred in 2005, I would have been dismissed for a completely different reason; killing [NBC’s] Case of milk, “alleged Bush.” Trump was a protected and revered source. It was a hundred million dollars of profits for NBC. He was the king of notes. “”

This reverence did not last long, according to Bush.

“It cost a lot of money to earn The apprentice Nothing costs nothing, “he told Lowe.” And his notes were enormous … Then, years later, the fall, he used to own the competition and broadcast him on NBC and they have disputes and they hate him, and now he presents himself for the president and they want him to be dead, “he said.

The veteran diffuser alleged that the leaders of the NBC had been looking for clips that presented Trump, speaking in a denigrant manner of women after a former competition queen arose and said that the candidate then president was inappropriate with her.

“Trump said,” I have never said anything or do anything inappropriate with women in my life “”, recalls Bush. “And then NBC, who hates him, sent these messages to each division of the company: ‘Do you have bands … What they really wanted was the band of Mark Burnett, the guy who directed the apprentice, because there are outings forever – but [they asked]”Does anyone else have something that speak derogatory of women in a derogatory manner?” We need it. And my producer at the time was like, ‘Holy S ***. The bus route. This band was like 11 years ago. This is the moment when Bush called me right after it happened. “”

The Washington Post later Published a presentation revealing audio and created a huge scandal at the end of the 2016 electoral cycle, which finally led to the network’s Bush shooting. In the band, Trump was heard on a hot micro making obscene comments on women and apparently boasting of committing sexual assault. “When you are a star, they let you do so,” said Trump heard. “You can do everything.”

Bush does not say much in the interaction, only heard laughing and waving the thenApprentice Host on. But his involvement ended up costing him a job at NBC Today.

“They had what they thought was the only thing – we learned later, nothing comes out,” said Bush. “But that, at the time, I think that everyone agreed should be the thing. So, whatever, anyone who is the collateral damage around him, appear s —. The greatest mission is that this man does not become president.”

A year after the gang released, Bush deplored: “I would have liked to have changed the subject. I would have liked to say:” Does anyone want water? “Or:” it looks like he’s going to rain “… I didn’t have the strength of the character to do so.”
