On October 7, 2016, one month before the United States presidential election,
The Washington Post published a video and accompanying article about then-
presidential candidate Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush having "an
extremely lewd conversation about women" in September 2005. Trump and Bush
were on a bus on their way to film an episode of Access Hollywood , a show
owned by NBCUniversal. In the video, Trump described his attempt to seduce a
married woman and indicated he might start kissing a woman that he and Bush
were about to meet. He added, "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they
let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do
anything.
