Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has denied masquerading as a spokesman for himself in the 1990s after an audio tape was published.
‘The Washington Post’ says it obtained a 1991 phone conversation between a PR man calling himself John Miller, but sounding like Trump, and a reporter.
Trump said the voice on the tape did not belong to him.
They would hear from the “spokesman”, named as John Miller or John Baron, when asking to interview Trump.
Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee after pushing out more than a dozen Republican rivals in the race for the White House.
Traditional Republicans are warming to him to unify the party and beat likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, reports the BBC.
Reacting to the ‘Washington Post’ story on Friday, Trump made his denial on the ‘Today Show’.
“No, I don’t know anything about it,” he said. “You’re telling me about it for the first time and it doesn’t sound like my voice at all.”
“I have many, many people that are trying to imitate my voice and you can imagine that. This sounds like one of these scams, one of the many scams. It doesn’t sound like me.
“It was not me on the phone. And it doesn’t sound like me on the phone, I will tell you that. It was not me on the phone.”
