An actress posing as Sacha Baron Cohen’s daughter in the new Borat movie was able to gain admittance to the White House last month – making it steps from the Oval Office and touring the press areas and grounds north of the White House.
The comedian tweeted out promo footage of the encounter hours after the release of his new film, which includes footage of a staged encounter with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that the comedian defended as a ‘honey trap.’
DailyMail.com was present at the White House when OANN correspondent Chanel Rion conducted an interview of the actress while being trailed back and forth by a camera and sound crew.
The Borat character posted footage of actress Mara Bakalova, who plays his daughter in Borat 2, being interviews by OANN’s Chanel Rion at the White House. A Marine stationed behind them indicates that the president was in the West Wing
The crew didn’t come with the correspondent, and is believed to be associated with the interview subject and actress.
The film character Borat tweeted out footage of the day-trip Friday, mocking what the account cast as a security breach.
‘Trump very careful who he let into his events and house. No Covid test necessary – High 5!’
He attached footage of Bulgarian actress Mara Bakalova, who in the movie plays Borat’s daughter Tutar Sagdiyev, being interviewed by Rion.
The Borat character mocks the conservative network as ‘most rigorous news source in America,’ and includes footage of Trump calling on ‘OAN’ and Rion claiming to have uncovered ‘multiple crimes’ in Ukraine committed by the Bidens.

‘I know this because they take my daughter into the White House,’ he said – as the short video switches to footage shot on the north lawn with Bakalova. She also tours the White House briefing room, which is right outside the West Wing offices used by the president and his staff.
‘No need for security test or COVID test. They boring,’ he said.
The scenes at the White House got cut and didn’t make it into the movie, titled ”Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.’
The clip then shows Bakalova in character with dark hair apparently attending events with President Trump Donald Trump Jr.
She is shown clapping wildly while the president speaks. In a different cut, she shakes hands with the president’s eldest son and proclaims herself ‘a little bit nervous’ and ‘excited to meet you.’
It is spliced with footage of President Trump and his son at a different event, leaving it unclear whether the actress was there.
Bakalova appears in an audience with Trump sometime on February 19 when he held fundraisers in California before traveling to a rally in Phoenix, Arizona. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., posted photos to Instagram from the same event, but it’s unclear where it took place

Maria Bakalova, who graduated from film school last year, has skyrocketed to international fame after it was revealed last night she honeytrapped Donald Trump’s senior lieutenant and former mayor of New York Giuliani in the new Borat movie
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about how the actress and potential crew got into the White House and whether there was a security breach.
It was the second time the movie ripped through U.S. politics, after the release of footage showing Borat’s ‘daughter’ in a hotel room with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
In one scene, Giuliani falls back on a bed after she removes his microphone after getting pranked into an interview. He briefly puts his hands in his pants, but the former New York mayor said he was simply tucking in his shirt after it got messed up when the microphone was being removed.
Sacha Baron Cohen stepped back into his Borat character on social media on Thursday to comically defend the scene.
The comedian released the highly anticipated sequel ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’ Thursday evening around 8pm, just one hour before the second presidential debate and one day before its scheduled release date.
The footage with Don Jr. came from a Turning Point USA event earlier this year that was part of the Conservative Political Action Conference, a source confirmed to
At the same conference, Sacha Baron Cohen, playing Borat but dressed up as President Donald Trump, ran into the hall where Vice President Mike Pence was speaking carrying Bakalova. ‘Michael Pennis! I brought a girl for you!’ Cohen yelled.
This scene made the movie, while the footage from the promo released Friday with Rion did not.
