US Republican presidential candidate Mr Trump has also apologized for the obscene comments made in the 2005 tape.

In the video, Mr Trump was on a bus talking to Mr Bush then host of NBC's Access Hollywood ahead of a segment they were about to record.

Mr Trump says "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star" and also brags about trying to grope and kiss women.

Mr Bush tells Mr Trump at one point "that Donald has scored" and also comments on a woman's "good legs".

Mr Billy Bush is the first cousin of former President George W Bush, he further said "It's no excuse, but this happened 11 years ago I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry."

Donald Trump has been condemned by top Republicans for the disgusting comments made on the leaked tape.

The Republican party nominee has said "these words don't reflect who I am I apologize".

Bush joined the Today team in August, having been anchor of Access Hollywood since 2009 and co-host of Access Hollywood Live since 2010.

Mr Oppenheim said that there would be a "further review" of the matter and did not say how long Mr Bush would be suspended for.
