An undercover video from Louder with Crowder’s MugClub Undercover unit captured Nicholas Biase, a top spokesman at the Department of Justice, making controversial statements about the legal cases against 2024 GOP presidential candidate President Trump. Biase referred to the multitude of cases as politically motivated and a “travesty of justice,” suggesting that they were contributing to Trump's rise in the polls.
Addressing the case led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, which saw Trump convicted of 34 counts of felony falsifying business records, Biase criticized the charges. He claimed Bragg was “stacking charges” and manipulating the case to make it fit. “Honestly, I think the case [against Trump in NYC] is nonsense,” Biase said. He went on to assert that the charges were politically motivated, noting that many in New York's real estate industry have done similar things without facing prosecution.
Biase, who has known Bragg for 15 years, also criticized the credibility of Michael Cohen, Bragg’s star witness, calling him a “psycho.” According to Biase, the charges have only made Trump more relevant, with the prosecutions backfiring by fueling his popularity in the polls. “It sure did,” he said, when asked if the charges had the opposite effect.
Biase explained that while federal law prohibits decisions on cases that could affect an election within 90 days, the same rule does not apply at the state level, describing the state legal system as “the f*cking wild west.”
Turning to the Georgia election case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Biase did not hold back, calling the case a “mockery of justice” and referring to Willis as a “joke.” He further criticized her personal life, making derogatory comments about her relationship and motivations.
Following the video's release, Biase issued a statement expressing regret for his remarks. “I was recently made aware of a video where I regretfully made some statements in a private and social setting that don’t reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions,” he said. Biase claimed that his comments were made in an effort to “please and impress” someone he had just met, who was secretly recording him. He added, “I’m deeply sorry to the local and state law enforcement officials working on these matters, who deserve more respect than I showed them.”
