Billy Bush is addressing Donald Trump ‘s infamous Access Hollywood tape.
During a new interview with Rob Lowe on the actor’s SiriusXM podcast Literally! With Rob Lowe, the former host said he flagged the president’s comments more than a decade before the scandal broke.
“The day of filming in 2005, I called my producer [and] said, ‘You’re not going to believe what Trump said. He’s going after Nancy .’ All I said was, ‘ Nancy O’Dell .’ Because I didn’t hear the other stuff,” he explained.

“I said, ‘He’s trying to get Nancy Furniture Shopping to sleep with her. This is crazy. He did it again! The guy is an animal!’ I basically report it to my superior, but it sits on a desk forever because… if that tape had leaked when it actually happened in 2005, I would have been fired for a completely different reason—killing NBC’s cash cow. Trump was a protected and revered source. He made a hundred million dollars in profits for NBC. He was the ratings king.”
