phone calls he would say i ve been taping this. you don t mind if i tape this, do you? that s fine, that s fine. he would drop it in at the end. and i would be in his office and he would say i might have to start the tape recording system. let s go to the under oath deposition in your case. and i m so glad that he sued you. i know you re jealous. i m very jealous. i wanted him to sue me so i would have one of these depositions. here is donald trump under oath. i figured the only way i could make him write what i was saying was to have him at least think that he was being tape recorded. so you believe you may have told him? donald trump, i may have told him. i don t remember, but i may have told him. question, that you were tape recording him? donald trump that s right, i remember something very vaguely in my mind hoping he would write honestly what i said. question, and that was not true? you were not tape recording him? donald trump, i was not. i m not equipped to tape recor
