Billy Bush Breaks His Silence on Trump Tape

Billy Bush talks to the Hollywood Reporter about the “Access Hollywood” tape:

My [then] 15-year-old, Mary, called me from boarding school, and she was in tears: “Dad, Dad, Dad,” and I said, “Everything is going to be fine, Mary. Everything’s going to be OK.” It’s just instinctively what you say to your daughter. And she said, “No, why were you laughing at the things that he was saying on that bus, Dad? They weren’t funny.” It hit really hard, and I stopped for a second, and I said, “I have no answer for that that’s any good. I am really sorry. That was Dad in a bad moment a long time ago. You know me. I am really sorry that you had to hear and see that. I love you.” She needed to hear that, and I certainly needed to tell her that.

Bush doubts Trump knew he was being recorded.

“I’ve done many interviews with him, and he always knew when the camera was on and when the camera was off because he changed. He was very aware of the camera.”
