An undercover video captured a Department of Justice (DOJ) official disclosing the reality behind the agency’s indictments against former President Donald Trump.
Conservative commentator Steven Crowder posted the video on X, featuring the DOJ official openly discussing the Trump indictments.
Nicholas Biase, the Chief of Public Affairs at the DOJ, is the official seen in the video.
“BREAKING: DOJ Chief of Public Affairs Admits Trump Indictments Are a Politically Motivated ‘Perversion of Justice’; Reveals Lawfare Involved in Making Former President a ‘Convicted Felon’ Backfired on Democrats; Claims His Former Colleague Alvin Bragg’s Case is ‘Nonsense’ And Alleges He Was ‘Stacking Charges,” Crowder wrote.
In the video, Biase reveals details about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump.
“He [Alvin Bragg] was just stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case,” he said.
“I think the case is nonsense,” he added, calling it a “perversion of justice.”
“It’s a travesty of justice. It’s a mockery of justice. The whole thing is disgusting. That’s why [Trump’s] surging in the polls,” Biase continued.

In reaction to Crowder’s undercover video, conservative commentator Kyle Becker offered some advice to Biase.
“Let me give a friendly word of advice to this DOJ official Nicholas Biase: He must run TO the fire and not AWAY from it to get through the sh*tstorm he’s about to be hit with,” Becker said.
“He needs to become a hero and own his comments. America needs this refreshing dose of honesty,” he added.

In August 2023, after his mugshot was taken at an Atlanta jail following Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ indictment, former President Trump reportedly raised nearly $10 million within days.
CNN reported on August 24, 2023, that the Trump campaign had raised $7.1 million since the mugshot was taken on August 22.
To challenge Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against him on August 27, related to alleged efforts to “overturn” the 2020 presidential election, according to CNN.
Smith’s case follows the dismissal of an indictment in Florida concerning Trump’s alleged possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence. This dismissal came after the U.S. Supreme Court determined that Trump is immune from prosecution for “official acts” performed during his presidency.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to Smith’s superseding indictment.
In a one-page court filing, Trump stated, “I, President Donald J. Trump, the undersigned defendant, hereby waive my right to be present at Arraignment and authorize my attorneys to enter a plea of not guilty on my behalf to each and every count of the superseding indictment.”
“I further state that I have received a copy of the superseding indictment and reviewed it with my counsel,” he added.
Smith’s team stated that the indictment “reflects the Government’s efforts to adhere to and implement the Supreme Court’s rulings and remand instructions in Trump v. United States,” according to the Washington Examiner.
