Bush, son of George H W Bush and brother of George W Bush, told ABC television's "This Week" for an interview set to air today that he will make public 250,000 official emails.

"I think it's more than likely that he'll run. The family will be behind him 100 per cent if he decides to," said the couple's son, George P Bush.
