Donald Trump has lashed out at Sacha Baron Cohen calling him “a creep” in response to his lawyer appearing in his new Borat film.
Rudy Giuliani is seen tucking his shirt in while in a hotel with a young woman acting as a journalist in the film titled Borat Subsequent Movefilm.
The US president was asked about the incident in the mockumentary and he had no idea what had happened.
But he didn’t hold back on what he had to say about Baron Cohen.
He told US reporters: “You know, years ago, he tried to scam me and I was the only one that said: ‘No way. This guy is a phoney guy.’ I don’t find him funny. To me, he’s a creep.”

This happened in 2003 when Mr Trump was being interviewed on Da Ali G Show in 2003 but after just a couple of minutes he walked away.
Mr Giuliani has insisted the scene was innocent even though he looks to be caught in a compromising position.
He can be seen on a bed with his hand down his trousers after the young woman helps him remove recording equipment.
He get his side of the story across Mr Giuliani tweeted to his 841,000 followers that nothing “inappropriate” had happened.
He wrote: “The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment.
“At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.”

Meanwhile, Baron Cohen told ABC’s Good Morning America : “I would say that if the president’s lawyer found what he did there appropriate behaviour, then heaven knows what he has done with other female journalists in hotel rooms.
“I urge everyone to watch the movie. It is what it is, he did what he did.”
He added: “Make your own mind up. It was pretty clear to us.”
