The reporter who recorded an interview with a 'spokesman' for Donald Trump in 1991 claims the GOP front-runner leaked the audio to the Washington Post himself.

This has been a challenging week for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as Hillary Clinton put pressure on him to release his tax documents.

The audio tapes, which reporter Sue Carswell claims were leaked by the Donald himself, have been a convenient distraction from the controversy.

Twenty-five years ago, Carswell interviewed a man called John Miller, who said he was a spokesman for Trump, as the billionaire was divorcing his first wife Ivana.

In the tape, a man who sounds very similar to Trump and uses words that often appear in his vocabulary discusses the Donald's personal life with Carswell.

Kelly seemed to find it hard to believe Trump would do that and asked if Carswell was suggesting he did it to generate a news cycle. She told Kelly only two people had the tape and she lost hers 25 years ago

Trump has adamantly denied that it is him on the tape, despite admitting in the past that he routinely made calls to reporters in the 1970s, '80s and '90s posing as a publicist named John Miller or John Barron, CNN reported.

On Friday, Carswell went on Fox News to discuss the tapes with Megyn Kelly.

In the clip from the show, Carswell tells Kelly that only two people could have possibly had access to a recording of that interview: her and the person on the other end of the phone.

'Megyn, the main thing here is that I didn't leak the tape and there are two people in the conversation,' Carswell says.

Kelly clarifies that Carswell was recording Trump because she's a reporter and was doing her job.

Carswell responds that that is correct and that she 'lost the tape'.

'You were the only one with a copy of the tape?' Kelly asks.

Carswell tells her she was and that she lost it 25 years ago. When Kelly asks if someone could have stolen it, she tells her 'no'.

'It was in my house and then I moved apartments,' Carswell says.

Kelly replies: 'Who else would've had a copy of the tape?'

'Donald Trump,' Carswell says definitively.

Laughter can be heard from producers in the studio as Kelly acts like her mind is being blown.

She asks if Carswell is suggesting that Trump leaked the tapes himself to the Washington Post, to which Carswell confidently replies 'yes'.

When Kelly asks why, Carswell says the man has done stranger things and then Kelly asks if Carswell is suggesting Trump leaked the tapes to generate a new news cycle.

'Hello, Donald,' Carswell deadpans at the camera.

Kelly laughs as people behind the camera continue to laugh, too.

According to a report in the Washington Post, Trump regularly pretended to be his own spokesman in interviews with reporters in the 1990s, when his love life made him a tabloid staple.

The paper recently obtained audio between a People magazine reporter and one of these so-called Trump spokesmen who is clearly just Trump himself - his Queens accent unmistakable.

Trump later admitted to such in another People magazine article, but 25 years later, he is now denying the masquerade.

On Friday morning, Trump called in for an interview on the Today show, and when questioned about the recording, Trump denied that it was him and even lashed out at Savannah Guthrie for bringing up old news.

'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,' Trump balked.

In the audio recording obtained by the Post, People magazine reporter Sue Carswell speaks to a man who claims to be a Trump spokesman named 'John Miller'.
