The New York Post had more details:
He didn’t mean to make it public, but a Manhattan US Attorney’s Office biggie has outed the contempt that pros privately hold for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s purely political prosecution of Donald Trump.
Covertly taped by an undercover righty, chief of public affairs Nicholas Biase slammed the case as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice,” accusing Bragg of “stacking charges [against Trump] and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”
ADVERTISEMENTSecretly recording private conversations for a “gotcha” is slimy (as we’ve said before), but Biase’s comments prove what Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Turley have long warned: Bragg’s case never made any sense to begin with.
Bragg twisted what should have been, at most, a misdemeanor into a typhoon of felonies by claiming Trump intended to defraud voters in the 2016 election when he repaid Michael Cohen in 2017 to cover his (perfectly legal) go-away payment to Stormy Daniels the year before.
Biase guessed the persecution is all about Bragg’s ambitions: “He wants to be, something … a mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County.”
Biase stated more of the obvious: Democrats are “obsessed with getting” Trump because “it affects his candidacy if he’s a convicted felon.”
And Fulton County, Ga., DA Fani Willis’ case against Trump is “a mockery of justice,” he added; “the whole thing is disgusting.”
Judge Judy is no Trump fan, but even she has gone on record saying the case should never have been brought:
Judge Judy: “As a person who owns property in Manhattan I would be happier if Alvin Bragg took care of criminals who make it impossible to ride the subway or walk the streets, than spending $10 million of taxpayer money trying Donald Trump on nonsense.” pic.twitter.com/YBD2uBEub8

Meanwhile, CNN reports the Spokesman is “very sorry” for his comments:
spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office apologized following the release of a secretly recorded video that captured him slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against Donald Trump as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice.”
Nicholas Biase, chief public information officer for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement, “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.” The statement was previously reported by the New York Post.
Biase’s statement about the case, which is outside of his office’s jurisdiction, came hours after conservative podcaster Steven Crowder released a secretly recorded, edited video of conversations between Biase and an unidentified woman that Crowder said occurred in July and August.
Crowder is a conservative political commentator and the host of the “Louder With Crowder” podcast whose previous channel on YouTube was suspended multiple times for violating YouTube policies. The video was released by Crowder’s “Mug Club,” a group with a known political agenda.
While Biase said in the video he has known Bragg for 15 years, he does not work for Bragg or the Manhattan DA’s office and was not involved in the hush money case against Trump.
“I said these things in an effort to please and impress someone I just met, who was secretly filming me,” Biase said. “I’m deeply sorry to the local and state law enforcement officials working on these matters, who deserve more respect than I showed them. I should have known better.”
In the recording, which has been edited into short soundbites, Biase can be heard saying, “The whole thing is disgusting. They’re just out to get him,” referring to Trump.
Biase claimed in the video that Bragg “was stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case.” He continued: “To be honest with you, I think the case is nonsense.”
CNN has not independently obtained or verified the video.
CNN has reached out to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the Manhattan DA’s office and the Justice Department in Washington, DC.
The judge overseeing the hush money case informed both Trump and the Manhattan DA’s office that he will render his decision on Friday about whether to delay Trump’s sentencing date, according to a court filing. The former president is currently scheduled to be sentenced on September 18, but Trump asked to delay the sentencing until after Election Day, a request the Manhattan DA’s office did not oppose.
