More evidence that Donald Trump lied about posing as his own publicist, John Miller. It was not a very good lie either. According to People magazine and journalist, Sue Carswell, Trump admitted the initial lie back in 1991 and apologized for posing as Miller.

This is the kind of lies that Bill Clinton tells. Lies when there would be no consequence of telling the truth. It is as if lying and getting away with it gives people like Trump and Clinton a thrill. Lying about a 25 year old incident when there were witnesses and a magazine article available to refute the lie just calls Trump's honesty and judgment into question again. It also opens him up to even more ridicule than the recording already had.

If you enjoyed the Bill Clinton presidency, then you will be happy no matter who wins in November. When presidents lie about little things, you can count on them to lie about important matters.

Inside Donald Trump's '91 Apology for Pretending to Be His Own Spokesman – How Marla Maples Shamed Him Into Fessing Up

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump flatly denied Friday that he posed as his own spokesman during a June 26, 1991 phone call to then-PEOPLE reporter Sue Carswell – a phone interview that Carswell taped at the time. When she played the recording for friends of Trump and his then-girlfriend, Marla Maples, they were unanimous: the voice was Trump's own, a ruse that Carswell noted in her story for the July 8, 1991 issue of PEOPLE.

By the time PEOPLE was putting its July 22, 1991 issue together, Trump had called Carswell to confess that he was, in fact, the so-called John Miller who called a couple weeks earlier. 'I'm very sorry,' he told the reporter and invited her and a colleague out on the town to make amends.

Now that Trump is the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee, audio of Trump's admitted impersonation of a fake spokesman using the name John Miller surfaced at The Washington Post last week. Carswell says she didn't give it to the newspaper and she suspects Trump himself leaked the recording. His Friday denial – 'it was not me on the phone,' he said on the Today show – raised questions of his truthfulness, so PEOPLE revisited the 1991 episode with Carswell. This is her story.
