US Edition'SLEAZEBAG': President Trump Berates Gov. Polis over Tina Peters Case
Trump calls Tina Peters' conviction unfair and urges Gov. Polis to pardon her, but Polis shows no interest in granting clemency for the convicted former clerk.
- Earlier this month, President Donald Trump scolded Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado, on Truth Social over Tina Peters's prison sentence, calling Polis a `sleazebag` for denying her release.
- Conviction records show Tina Peters, former Mesa County clerk, provided unauthorized access to Mesa County election systems involving an associate tied to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
- Peters maintains she was innocent and acted to serve Mesa County, though District Judge Matthew Barrett said she `abused` her position and showed no remorse after serving more than one year in jail, Trump referenced.
- Because the conviction is state-level, President Donald Trump does not have authority to pardon Tina Peters, and a federal custody-transfer request was denied by the Colorado Department of Corrections.
- Tied to unsubstantiated claims about the presidential election, Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, asserted interference lacking credible evidence, fueling a political clash between Donald Trump and Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado, over election-related prosecutions and pardon politics.
