Donald Trump: 1991 phone call 'doesn't sound like my voice'

Donald Trump found himself in the midst of yet another scandal early Friday morning, when a phone interview with TODAY didn't go as planned.

On the line with Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie, Trump was forced to comment on a 1991 recording that was obtained by the Washington Post that insinuates he "masqueraded himself" as his own spokesperson.

The phone call in question features a man, who claims to be "John Miller," singing "Donald's" praises as he rambles on about his various successful endeavors.

When the recording was finished playing, Trump was quick to deny that the recording was him, stating, "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."

When Guthrie digs deeper into the Post's article that exposes these phone calls, Trump insists, "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," he said.

He then brought the conversation to a screeching halt, saying, "When was this, 25 years ago? Wow, you're going so low as to talk about something that took place 25 years ago about whether or not I made a phone call ... The answer is no, and let's get on to more current subjects ... I know it's wonderful for your listeners, but I think we have more important things to discuss."

The Post sticks to their story, however, stating that Trump has previously acknowledged that he used to routinely pose under a false name.
