US EditionTrump rips ‘radical left’ Colorado attorney general over Peters prosecution
- In October 2024, Tina Peters, the former clerk of Mesa County, was given a nine-year prison term for her involvement in a 2021 incident that compromised election security equipment in Colorado.
- Following an eight-day trial, jurors found her guilty on seven counts—including official misconduct and conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation—related to her involvement in compromising election equipment after the 2020 vote.
- Peters has filed a federal habeas corpus petition seeking bond release while appealing her 2024 convictions, but a federal magistrate judge ruled the petition contains unexhausted claims and may be dismissed or require narrowing.
- The U.S. Department of Justice intervened in March, filing a statement citing concerns about potential political motives in Peters' prosecution, while Colorado officials maintain the case was handled based on evidence without political bias.
- President Donald Trump publicly condemned Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, calling Peters an 'innocent political prisoner' and directing the DOJ to take all necessary actions to secure her release, framing the case as politically motivated persecution.
