US EditionTrump rips ‘radical left’ Colorado attorney general over Peters prosecution
- In October 2024, Tina Peters, who previously served as the clerk of Mesa County, was found guilty and handed a nine-year prison sentence for her involvement in a 2021 breach of election security in Colorado.
- Her conviction followed an eight-day trial that focused on Peters allowing unauthorized access to county election equipment related to efforts to prove fraud in the 2020 election.
- Peters has appealed her convictions in state court and filed a federal habeas corpus petition seeking bond, but a federal judge ruled her petition contains unexhausted claims and may not be viable as presented.
- Earlier this year, the Justice Department became involved by submitting a statement expressing concerns that the prosecution of Peters might be driven more by political motives than by legitimate legal grounds, while President Donald Trump denounced her imprisonment as "Communist persecution" and called for her freedom.
- The case highlights ongoing disputes over election security and legal process, with state officials denying political motives and Peters' detention raising complex questions about court procedures and federal review.
