Nicholas Biase, the Chief of Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Southern District of New York, has been recorded admitting that the indictments against former President Donald Trump are politically motivated. Biase described the indictments as a 'perversion of justice' and a 'mockery of justice,' and criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for 'stacking charges' to secure a conviction. He also referred to the situation as 'disgusting' and suggested it was an act of 'election interference.' The revelations come just before Trump's upcoming sentencing and have sparked significant controversy, with claims that the legal actions are intended to damage Trump's candidacy.
