Overview

• Bush said he alerted NBC to Trump’s off-camera remarks during a 2005 Access Hollywood taping.
• He recounted that executives suppressed the tape to shield Trump’s value to the network, warning he’d be fired for “killing their cash cow.”
• NBC circulated an internal all-points bulletin across its divisions seeking any other tapes of Trump speaking disparagingly about women.
• The recording remained unpublished until The Washington Post released it in 2016, exposing Trump bragging about groping women.
• Bush said the scandal ended his role on Today and reflected on the emotional toll and the friends who supported him through the fallout.
