Trump meets with Tina Peters in the Oval Office

President Trump met with former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters on Tuesday following her release from state prison earlier this month, about two years after she became the first local official convicted over efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election.

“‘FREE TINA!’ became the rallying cry of the Republican Party over the past two years. Tina Peters just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“She was put there because she found Election Fraud, but instead of arresting the people that committed the Fraud, they arrested her!” he added.

Peters certified the 2020 election results to say that Trump won Mesa County, Colo., when former President Biden had won it instead.

In 2021, she allowed a conspiracy theorist to access the voter machines to preserve the election results based on Trump’s claim that widespread voter fraud had occurred.

She was sentenced in 2024 to serve nearly nine years in prison after being convicted on seven counts, including three counts of attempting to influence a public official.

She was released earlier this month after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) commuted her sentence.

Trump in his post said she served “much time in solitary confinement along with hardened criminals and murderers.”

“What she went through should never happen to anyone again. Just think of it, she caught the Democrats cheating, and they put her in jail for Voter Fraud,” he said. “They didn’t want her out there speaking to the Media.”

“She knows that the Voting Machines are RIGGED, that the Mail In Ballots are a DISASTER, and that our Elections are very Dangerous and Corrupt at a time when, with the Threat of Communism, we must be very wise and careful!” he added.

The president repeated his claim that Democrats tried to steal the 2024 election, but it was “TOO BIG TO RID.”

Trump had pressed Polis to release Peters since he got back into office last January.

“Free Tina Peters, a 73-year-old woman with cancer, given a nine-year death sentence in a Colorado prison by a Democrat governor, Jared Polis, and a corrupt political machine, for exposing fraud by the Democrats during the 2020 presidential election,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in March. “Again, free Tina!”
