US EditionTrump rips Colorado governor, DA over Tina Peters incarceration: ‘May they rot in hell’
Trump condemned Colorado officials for imprisoning Tina Peters, citing a December 5 pardon that does not cover state crimes and threatening retaliation against the state.
- On December 5, President Donald Trump issued a presidential pardon for Tina Peters, former Mesa County elections clerk, then defended her and attacked Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Truth Social.
- Her conviction stems from allowing unauthorized access to the election system, and prosecutors say she enabled a man tied to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to misuse a security card.
- Last week Peters' legal team asked a judge to recognize the pardon and release her, but a federal magistrate judge refused while the Colorado DOC denied transfer and the Colorado appeals court set a January 8 response deadline for the state attorney general's office.
- Following his pledge, President Donald Trump canceled $109 million in federal transportation grants, including a $66 million rail-safety project, and vetoed water funding for 39 communities.
- Observers flagged inaccuracies in President Donald Trump's post about Tina Peters' age, prison security, and health, and legal experts note a president can only pardon federal crimes, leaving state cases unresolved.
