The chief public information officer for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office called charges against former President Donald Trump “a perversion of justice.”

But hours after Department of Justice Chief of Public Affairs Nicholas Biase blasted Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against Trump as “nonsense,” he issued a statement saying he was “deeply sorry” for his remarks.

“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 said in an about-face from scathing criticism he delivered in a secretly recorded video that was posted by conservative podcaster Steven Crowder.

Biase was discussing Trump’s impending sentencing by Judge Juan Merchan in the undercover video from July by Crowder’s MugClub, saying Bragg “was stacking charges and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”

“No, honestly, I think the case is nonsense,” added Biase who does not work for Bragg’s office and has not worked on the case against Trump.

He noted that he used to work in Bragg’s office and that he’s known the DA for 15 years. Biase could also be heard calling Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen a “psycho.”

“Every real estate person in New York does what [Trump] did. Nobody’s ever been charged with this. It’s all him,” Biase said, likely referring to Trump’s separate civil fraud case by state Attorney General Letitia James.

“And that’s why, like, he’s surging in the polls, you know it’s a perversion of justice.”

“He wants to be, something … a mayor?” he said of Bragg. “I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County. Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was? You do now.”

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her election interference case against Trump in Georgia was also called out by Biase who said, “It’s a travesty of justice, to put it mildly.”

“It’s a mockery of justice,” he added. “She is a joke. Like, her and her boyfriend she was seeing, the whole thing is disgusting. And they’re just out to get [Trump].”

He indicated that the goal of Democrats hounding the former president is to label him “a convict” and a “convicted felon.”

Speaking of Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case against Trump, Biase said, “This guy is probably going to try to lock him up. And there is going to be, it’s going to be ugly…”

In the video’s introduction, Crowder tells viewers that Biase is not “the bad guy” but perhaps “an unwitting whistleblower” speaking out against the lawfare tactics.

But shortly after the video was released Biase walked back his words.

“I said these things in an effort to please and impress someone I just met, who was secretly filming me,” he told the New York 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.”
