"Tina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment."
President Donald Trump on Monday called for Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was sentenced to nine years in jail in October over charges related to the 2020 election, to be freed. He said that he has directed the Department of Justice to take "all necessary action" to secure her release.
"Radical Left Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser ignores Illegals committing Violent Crimes like Rape and Murder in his State and, instead, jailed Tina Peters, a 69-year-old Gold Star mother who worked to expose and document Democrat Election Fraud," Trump wrote. "Tina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment."
"This is a Communist persecution by the Radical Left Democrats to cover up their Election crimes and misdeeds in 2020. The same Democrat Party that flies to El Salvador to try to free an MS-13 Terrorist, is cruelly imprisoning, perhaps for life, a grandmother whose brave and heroic son gave his life for America. Colorado must end this unjust incarceration of an innocent American. I am hereby directing the Department of Justice to take all necessary action to help secure the release of this 'hostage' being held in a Colorado prison by the Democrats, for political reasons. FREE TINA PETERS, NOW!"
Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state in relation to security breaches of Dominion Voting Systems voting machines. She was found not guilty of identity theft, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and one count of criminal impersonation.
During sentencing, Colorado Judge Matthew Barrett told Peters, "Your lies are well documented, and these convictions are serious. I’m convinced you’d do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen."
Peters had requested a sentence of probation, while the prosecution demanded a sentence of 20 years.
