Trump Blasts Polis Over Continued Imprisonment of Tina Peters

By Washington Examiner Staff | Washington Examiner

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to scold Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) regarding the case of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2024 for charges of giving unauthorized individuals access to the county’s election systems. 

Trump lambasted Polis as a “sleazebag” for denying the release of “an elderly woman.” The president said Peters was “unfairly convicted” and should not be in jail.

“The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail!” Trump posted. “She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election. She was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law.” 

Peters was found guilty in August 2024 of crimes related to providing unauthorized information about Mesa County’s election systems to someone affiliated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, specifically regarding the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Lindell claimed, without any credible evidence, that the election systems were interfered with to help then-candidate Joe Biden win the presidency.
