DOJ official calls Trump prosecutions 'perversion of justice' in undercover video

WASHINGTON (TND) — A senior official at the Department of Justice's Southern District of New York office claimed in an undercover video released Thursday the repeated prosecution of former President Donald Trump has devolved into a “perversion of justice."

The clip by Mug Club Undercover shows Nicholas Biase commenting on the myriad of legal troubles facing Trump since leaving the White House, including his felony conviction for falsifying business records. This, he argued, has backfired as Trump continues to see strong polling.

“They made him more relevant,” Biase said of Trump. “That’s why he’s surging in the polls. You know, it’s a perversion of justice.”

Biase in the video also said he's known Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the New York hush money case against Trump, for 15 years. The DOJ spokesperson said Bragg is highly ambitious and is “not happy just being the DA of New York County.”

Biase told The National Desk (TND) Thursday he regretted his comments for the way they disparaged the prosecutions against Trump.

“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 wrote via email. “I said these things in an effort to please and impress someone I just met, who was secretly filming me. 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.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., responded to the video, likening it to a piece of dystopian fiction.

“Orwellian,” he wrote via X.

I belive this story was broken (and came from) Steven Crowder’s Mug Club investigations.

So Blase’s exculpatory reason is he is a liar?
Very detailed lies, too.
Why the lies, Blase? Why the unprompted, extemporaneous and detailed explanations to flesh out those lies?

I had just watched these and came here to see if there was a thread. Hopefully, they’ll get subtitles as background conversations cover up some content

exactly, because selective justice isn’t justice it is legal persecution.

Too bad his country isn’t as important to him as his career.

His career is toast anyway. Does he really think his commie bosses will believe his lame excuses for what he said to the MCU reporter?
