Top spokesman for Manhattan US Attorney’s office caught on secret recording blasting DA Bragg over Trump prosecution
SUMMARY
A top spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office, Nicholas Biase, was secretly recorded criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump. In footage released by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s Mug Club, Biase called the hush money case against Trump "nonsense" and a "perversion of justice," accusing Bragg of using the case to further his political career. Biase, who worked with Bragg previously, alleged that the charges were stacked to build a case against Trump, adding that Bragg sought to make a name for himself through this prosecution. He also commented that attempts to harm Trump's candidacy by prosecuting him had backfired, making him more relevant. The recording also included Biase condemning other state-level cases against Trump, including the civil fraud case led by New York Attorney General Letitia James and the Fulton County, Georgia indictment. Biase has since apologized, expressing regret for his remarks.
