Today Host Suspended over Trump Tape


NBC has suspended television personality, Billy Bush from the “Today’’ show after fallout over the host’s 2005 taped lewd conversation with U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The development was captured on a show memo seen by Reuters on Sunday.
The suspension comes as a flood of Republicans have withdrawn their support for Trump over the video that emerged on Friday showing the businessman, then a reality TV star, talking with Bush on an open microphone.
In the recorded conversation, Trump was conversing on a bus with Bush, then host of NBC’s “Access Hollywood,’’ ahead of a segment they were about to tape.
NBC said Bush had been suspended indefinitely from the “Today’’ show, where he hosts the third hour of programming.
Noah Oppenheim, the executive in charge of the morning show, wrote in a memo to staff that “there is simply no excuse for Billy’s language and behavior on that tape.’’
Oppenheim said: “NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter.’’
The controversy has pitched Trump, 70, into the biggest crisis of his campaign and deepened fissures between him and establishment Republicans just a month ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election.

It was a sprawling, bustling, filthy place. She lived in a hovel. Well, it wasn’t so much a hovel as a rundown garage. And, when the wind blew at night, the doors and shutters creaked and banged and she was very afraid. And every year when the fierce monsoon rains wreaked their vengeance on the earth the floor of the garage flooded and the little girl’s bare feet were cold and wet. One night in a fearsome storm our little girls’ mummy died – “of pneumonia”, they said, but our little girl didn’t understand. And so she and her widowed father and her five brothers and sisters left the garage in the big city and went to live on a tropical ...
