And, blinded by a workplace accident. So why is this man driving a boat towing water skiers . The big business of disability fraud, and how youre paying for it. Good evening. Im tom llamas. In for david. Thank you for joining us on this friday night. We begin with a bizarre twist in the race for president. Donald trump accused of once pretending to be his own media spokesperson. Describing his love life and fortune. Tonight, you be the judge. At the same time, hes fiercely standing by his decision not to release his taxes until an audit is completed. Reporter today, a voice from the past is coming back to haunt donald trump, and it sounds a heck of a lot like his own voice. Whats your name again . John miller. Reporter its a tape recording of a 1991 interview conducted by a People Magazine reporter with somebody identifying himself as john miller, supposedly a spokesman for donald trump. Im somebody that he knows and i think somebody that he trusts and likes. Reporter but the reporter soon became suspicious john miller was actually trump himself, bragging about his own exploits with women. Hes somebody that has a lot of options, and, frankly, you know he gets called by everybody. And he gets called by everybody in the book, in terms of women. Reporter the supposed spokesman described how trump was living with marla maples, but not ready to settle down. He didnt want to make a commitment. He really thought it was too soon. Hes living with marla and hes got three other girlfriends. Reporter he even bragged that superstars like madonna wanted to date trump. Well, she called and wanted to go out with him, that i can tell you. Reporter the Washington Post reports trump has previously acknowledged using a fake name. But today, the billionaire angrily denied its him on that tape. It doesnt sound like me on the phone. I will tell you that. And it was not me on the phone. Reporter its not just the tape that has trump on the defensive today. Hes also pushing back on the idea that voters are entitled to see his tax returns, which he says are now being audited by the irs. Do you believe voters have a right to see your tax returns before they make a final decision . I dont think they do. But i do say this, i will really gladly give them not going to learn anything but its under routine audit. Reporter but four years ago, trump said then republican nominee mitt romney should release his returns. Mitt has to get those tax returns out. Reporter one of the things trumps returns will reveal how much he pays in taxes. I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible. What is your tax rate . Its none of your business. Youll see it when i release. And jon joins us now. Some other news on trumps finances and the millions of dollars hes loaned his campaign . Reporter he revealed hes loaned 50 million to his campaign. Today, he issued a statement he has absolutely no intention of raising it again, he said it was a contribution made in order to make America Great again. Thank you. Now to manchester, New Hampshire, the takedown of a suspected gunman wanted for shooting police. Two officers wounded, one shot in the face. And late today, details about the suspect and the officers that crossed his path. Heres gio benitez in New Hampshire tonight. Reporter tonight, the two officers shot in the middle of the night. A community told to shelter in place. Schools closed. Almost immediately was shot in the face and shoulder, calling for help. Shots fired. Ive been hit. Shots fired white male, long hair, trench coat. Reporter then, at 2 23 a. M. , the second officer approached the suspect. They located the subject, at which time the subject started to fire upon the officers while exclaiming that, im your man. Reporter that officer, shot in the leg. With that intense search under way for hours, police find 32yearold Ian Macpherson matching the description of the suspect. Tonight, hes under arrest and charged with two counts of attempted capital murder. Thankfully, these officers were lucky. Especially officer ryan hardy, who was shot in the face. I think there was a bit of grace shining on officer hardy. Reporter and tom, this is one of the crime scenes. Investigators are still here looking for evidence. The shelter in place order has now been lifted, and police say the community is now safe. Tom . Gio, thank you. To the west now, and exclusive video from inside a sky diving plane as it crashes. 17 passengers aboard, all of them survived. Heres kayna whitworth, with the moment of impact.

No one was seriously injured. Im thankful for the pilot. He did a really good job. Reporter the entire front end of the plane is crushed. Tom, some of the very same sky divers on that plane have already been back up in the air today. Thank you. We move on to the tsa and the growing pressure to fix its biggest complaint, airport delays. Passengers at chicagos midway airport, frustrated. Warning them to arrive three hours before their flight. 3,000 bags unable to be screened because of a technical problem. The agency revealing a new plan, hiring more than 700 officers, using k9 teams, and asking airlines to reduce the number of carryon bags. And tonight, to an Online Auction some are calling disgusting and racist. George zimmerman selling the gun he shot Trayvon Martin with. Reporter tonight, the internet strikes back. Trolls with mocking names like racist mcshootface jamming George Zimmermans gun auction. Zimmerman set the opening bid for the handgun he used to kill Trayvon Martin in 2012 at 5,000. He described the gun as a piece of american history, using pictures from his 2013 murder trial. He was acquitted. Earlier, zimmerman was reached by phone, dismissing his critics. Theyre not going to be bidding on it so i couldnt care less about them. Reporter and then they did start bidding, by the dozens. With names like weedlord and stonewall mccracker triggering a fictitious bidding war with offers topping 65 million. So many hijacked the account that the website, united gun group, a small website with a bigsounding name, creaked to a stop under the immense traffic. Zimmerman has also vowed to use proceeds to bring on the demise of groups like black lives matter and the policies of people like hillary clinton. We know of one legitimate bid, a man from georgia who says he wants to buy it to keep it out of the hands of racists. Hes only willing to pay 5,000. Tom . Thank you. Now to the heated debate spreading across the country. President obama weighing in on the subject of transgender students. Heres steve osunsami. Reporter north of atlanta, where one School District is already considering these federal guidelines, some parents are threatening to pull their kids from class. They will never set foot in a Fannin County school again. I will stay home every day and homeschool. Reporter the district is calling for unisex bathrooms, to accommodate transgender students, or letting them choose the bathroom they need. This is about a fear for not having federal funding. Reporter even a middleschooler spoke up at this crowded debate. We shouldnt judge them or discriminate them. Reporter xavier eaton, whos transgender, graduated from the school. I was beaten up by two males who said that if i wanted to look like a guy, they would treat me like a guy. Reporter the feelings are just as strong in moncks corner, south carolina. It should not be in the Primary School system. Reporter sera guerry is a sophomore, and says the best day of her life was when the principal told her she could use the girls bathroom. Before i came out at berkley, nobody knew and i didnt want to compromise that and go to the staff restroom. Reporter these guidelines arent law, but there is fear the federal government could withhold funds if School Districts and universities dont take them seriously. Tom . Now to an abc news exclusive inside ramadi. Our team traveling into the battle zone, an isis stronghold until six months ago. More than a dozen iraqi soldiers killed just 24 hours ago. Heres martha raddatz. Reporter it is a fourhour drive through the desert of one of iraqs most restive provinces. We can see all of the destruction as we drive. And if you look way off into the distance in the tree line, you can see areas isis still holds. This is what a once thriving, vibrant city looks like after isis takes control, and the iraqis with american air power take it back. Block after block, mile after mile. Schools flattened, homes destroyed, bridges blown apart. Only some 15,000 families have been able to return to a city that was once home to 1 million. This family of eight, barely getting by. Its a bit difficult, electricity, water is very difficult. Reporter the city may be liberated, the people are not safe. There are more unexploded bombs and mines here than any place on earth. And it is left to an American Company to find them. They do not want their faces shown, but these bomb technicians are trying to clear thousands of hidden bombs that isis left behind. What you see coming out of the jugs is homemade explosive. Reporter to clear ramadi, but it will take years, if not decades. Thank you. Now to the zika virus emergency in puerto rico.

Reporter valerie, a corrections facility employee for 27 years, says now they can fulfill their own dreams. We each have dreams we want to fulfill for our community and families. Reporter steven asked if hell buy a hot new car. Its not about flashy cars, clothes, spending frivolously. Im more intelligent than that. Reporter theyre splitting that lump sum of 284 million eight ways. Have you calculated what that number will be . That depends on the tax guy i just met. Reporter tom, we did that math for them.

Here he is living the high life, traveling the world. Even towing water skiers behind a boat. But thats not what he tells the claims office. No. My lifestyle has changed radically. Reporter popp did have some legitimate Vision Impairment back in 2004 when he signed up for disability benefits. But he didnt notify the department when he got a job and his medical condition improved. He just kept on lying. This is kind of reliving it, so, im sorry. Im sorry.
