Sacha revealed that the Rudy Giuliani honey trap scene that captured Donald Trump made him happy. He filmed a fake interview with Trump’s lawyer Giuliani that shows him crashing the Conservative Political Action Conference. The lawyer wasn’t co-operating and became the team's prime target. Giuliani was clueless that the interview was fake and put his hands down his pants.
