'SLEAZEBAG': President Trump Berates Gov. Polis over Tina Peters Case

Former Mesa County Clerk sentenced to nine years for unauthorized election system access, sparking political debate over election integrity claims.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to defend Tina Peters, saying she was `unfairly convicted` and should not be in jail after serving more than one year.
  • Peters was found guilty on state charges tied to Mesa County's election systems, convicted on three counts including attempting to influence a public servant and related felonies.
  • District Judge Matthew Barrett told the court Peters `abused` her position and showed zero remorse, adding `I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could.`
  • Governor Jared Polis has authority to pardon Peters but has not sought her release; President Donald Trump called Polis a `sleazebag` for denying her release, and Colorado officials rejected a Federal Bureau of Prisons transfer request.
  • Supporters say Peters was preserving election records she was obligated to keep under federal law and has repeatedly said she is innocent, while Mike Lindell's claims were made `without any credible evidence`.
