Tina Peters' lawyers argue her 9-year sentence violated rights and seek recognition of Trump’s pardon despite its inapplicability to state crimes, amid clemency talks.

- As a broader legal test, the Colorado Attorney General's Office argues President Donald Trump's pardon power is constitutionally limited to federal offenses, while national attention warns freeing Peters could embolden threats to election officials and the election-conspiracy movement.
