A spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office apologized Thursday 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 to the New York Post, “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.” Biase’s statement 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. The host of the “Louder with Crowder” podcast claimed at the start of the video he posted on X that Biase is “an unwitting whistleblower” who is speaking out against the case. Crowder is a conservative political commentator 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 told the Post. “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.”
