>> john miller. >> reporter: it's 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. >> i'm 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. >> he's 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 didn't want to make a commitment. he really thought it was too soon. he's living with marla and he's 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 it's him on that tape. >> it doesn't sound like me on the phone. i will tell you that. and it was not me on the phone. >> reporter: it's not just the tape that has trump on the defensive today. he's 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 don't think they do. but i do say this, i will really gladly give them -- not going to learn anything but it's 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 trump's 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? >> it's none of your business. you'll see it when i release. >> and jon joins us now. some other news on trump's finances and the millions of dollars he's loaned his campaign? >> reporter: he revealed he's 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. here's 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. i've 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, "i'm your man." >> reporter: that officer, shot in the leg. with that intense search under way for hours, police find 32-year-old ian macpherson matching the description of the suspect. tonight, he's 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?
