Description

Former President Donald Trump has criticized Colorado Governor Jared Polis for keeping Mesa County election clerk Tina Peters in jail, calling her a brave and innocent patriot and suggesting her conviction for election interference is politically motivated. Peters, a cancer survivor, was found guilty in August 2024 and sentenced to nine years in prison for using a county employees stolen security badge to allow an outside operative access to Mesa Countys voting systems. Trump has vowed harsh measures if Peters is not released, and the Justice Department is reviewing her prosecution.
