According to CNN’s Brian Stelter, Bush’s departure is now a “matter of when, not a matter of if.”

Bush and NBC are reportedly in talks about the terms of his exit. Bush, who hosts the third hour of the "Today" show, was a host on NBC's "Access Hollywood" when the audio of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women while Bush laughs and eggs him on was recorded.

Bush apologized the day the tape leaked, saying on Friday that he was “embarrassed and ashamed." He has been suspended.

An NBC source said the company had nothing to share about Bush's future with the network.

Bush reportedly bragged to other network staffers about the tape while working on the Rio Olympics this summer, according to Page Six, but apparently never told NBC’s leadership about the audio recording.

The footage prompted a number of Trump’s Republican backers to revoke their support of his candidacy, while others even called on him to step down from the ticket.

Trump said on Saturday that he would not be dropping out.
