The revelation of text messages from Sean Hannity offering advice for former President Donald Trump raises ethical issues for both the prime-time host and his network, Fox News Channel.

Sacha Baron Cohen arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 4, 2018, left, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster clubhouse in Bedminster, N.J. on Nov. 20, 2016. Giuliani appears in a scene in the new Borat film. The scene, which was filmed in a New York hotel room in July, resulted in Giuliani calling police.

The scene, which was filmed in a New York hotel room in July, resulted in Giuliani calling police. Giuliani went to the hotel room thinking he was being interviewed about the Trump administration's COVID-19 response. The young woman is flirtatious with him and invites him to the bedroom, which is rigged with hidden cameras. Baron Cohen, who was disguised as part of the crew, screams that the young woman is 15 years old. That leads to a second scheme involving Giuliani that ends up in the hotel room scene.
