A top New York Department of Justice official was recently exposed by an undercover conservative journalist, who admitted that the legal cases against former President Donald Trump are politically motivated by nature. Trump has long maintained that the mountain of legal battles he has endured is a weaponization of the justice system against his presidential bid.
Nicholas Biase, chief of public affairs for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, was secretly recorded admitting that the cases brought against the Republican presidential candidate by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg were intended to thwart Trump’s campaign efforts ahead of the election.
The undercover journalist, associated with conservative media personality Steven Crowder, was heard in the footage speaking to Biase, claiming Bragg’s felony convictions against Trump “did nothing to stop” his momentum in the polls when President Biden was still in the race. “No, in fact they made him more relevant,” Biase replied. The journalist asked if Bragg’s hush money case backfired, to which he conceded, “It sure did.”
Biase proceeded to outline the motivations behind the prosecutorial efforts, claiming, “The whole thing is disgusting, and they’re out to get him… and that’s why, like, he’s surging in the polls. You know, it’s a perversion of justice.” The head of public affairs further claimed that Bragg was “stacking charges” and trying to shape the case around his inherent political motivations.
“[Bragg] was stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case. No, to be honest with you I think the case is nonsense,” he added, before describing the state-level prosecution as the “Wild West.” Biase continued, “They’re like idiots, they don’t care, they’re all political, so yeah. [Bragg] is probably gonna try to lock him up.”
However, The American Tribune reported in July that Trump was seeking to overturn the conviction in Alvin Bragg’s hush money case following the Supreme Court’s ruling that determined a United States president has legal immunity for official conduct while in office. The former president took to social media, maintaining that this would put an end to the “witch hunts” against him.
“Today’s Historic Decision by the Supreme Court should end all of Crooked Joe Biden’s Witch Hunts against me, including the New York Hoaxes – The Manhattan SCAM cooked up by Soros backed D.A., Alvin Bragg, Racist New York Attorney General Tish James’ shameless ATTACK on the amazing business that I have built, and the FAKE Bergdorf’s “case.” PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” Trump wrote.

“THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IS A MUCH MORE POWERFUL ONE THAN SOME HAD EXPECTED IT TO BE. IT IS BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND WISE, AND CLEARS THE STENCH FROM THE BIDEN TRIALS AND HOAXES, ALL OF THEM, THAT HAVE BEEN USED AS AN UNFAIR ATTACK ON CROOKED JOE BIDEN’S POLITICAL OPPONENT, ME. MANY OF THESE FAKE CASES WILL NOW DISAPPEAR, OR WITHER INTO OBSCURITY. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Trump wrote in another post.
