Rudy Giuliani says he was merely tucking his shirt while stretched out on a bed in a hotel room with a young woman posing as a reporter.

Note , this article contains spoilers for the new Borat film, which is released on Friday on Amazon Prime.

The former New York Mayor, now the President’s ‘fixer’, was filmed apparently lying on a bed with his hand down his trousers, in a scene from Sacha Baron Cohen’s new Borat movie.

Mr Giuliani says it was a “hit job”, and that there will be five or six more of them to come, because his political opponents are “scum.”

In the film, Borat, a ‘diplomat’ from Kazakhstan, is tasked with currying favour with the US President – which he plans to do by offering a bribe, his 15-year-old daughter, Tutar Sagdiyev, to an associate.

Tutar, played by Maria Bakalova, 24, poses as a TV news reporter in order to get close to Giuliani.
