NEW YORK\u2014 Billy Bush says it was indeed Donald Trump’s voice captured on a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape talking about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women.<\/p>\n

In an op-ed published Sunday in The New York Times the former “Access Hollywood” and “Today” show personality says, “Of course he said it.”<\/p>\n

Bush writes everyone nearby at the time thought they were listening to “a crass standup act.”<\/p>\n

The tape emerged during the 2016 presidential campaign and prompted more than a dozen women to come forward to say that Trump had sexually assaulted or harassed them. He denied it.<\/p>\n

Bush says he felt the need to write the piece following reports that Trump has privately suggested that the tape is not authentic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
