The shocking outburst captures Trump detailing his pursuit of Nancy O'Dell, while Bush was also heard commenting and laughing.

'I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married', Trump says in the recording published on Friday.
'And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture".
'I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,' he continues.
'Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totally changed her look.'

At times another man's voice - presumably Bush's - can be heard on the recording.
Bush then worked for Access Hollywood and now works on the Today show. The pair were on the set of the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Trump was about to record a segment on the show and Bush was there to interview him about it.
The pair were captured chatting, presumably unaware their mics were recording the exchange.

'You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,' he boasts.
'And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything.'

The Presidential candidate, who has consistently come under fire for derogatory comments about women during his campaign, did not deny the exchange had taken place and put it down to 'locker room banter'.
'This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close,' he said in a statement. 'I apologize if anyone was offended.'
Shortly after the recording emerged, Hillary Clinton tweeted: 'This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.'

Bush swiftly deleted his Twitter account on Friday in the wake of the revelation, however his Facebook page that remained online was flooded with negative comments.
'Oh my Billy Bush you really surprise me with that conversation with "the Donald" I've lost a lot of respect for you!' Becky Bouldin wrote.
'Billy Bush! Just heard the Trump video in which you participated. Really???? You owe us something in the way of explanation... I'm so embarrassed by this and other happenings during this campaign,' Nancy Fuleihan said.

'Hey Billy Bush... you proud of yourself?' Ronald Wright asked.
Despite the backlash, it appears Bush will keep his job on the Today Show.
Page Six reports that although NBC executives are 'appalled' by the comments, the host won't be sacked because they were made more than a decade ago.
'It happened 11 years ago … Billy was in a different place. He was a lot younger and more immature. He’s definitely embarrassed by this, but his job at "Today" is safe,' a network insider reportedly said.
