Trump and DOJ try to spring former county clerk Tina Peters from prison

Tina Peters, a former election official known for supporting Trump's 2020 conspiracy theories, faces harsh sentencing for compromising election equipment. President Trump is advocating for her release, comparing her to a political prisoner and citing concerns about the sentence length and legal process. However, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has accused Peters of intentionally compromising election security to support Trump's lies. Tina appeals her conviction and bail denial, with legal teams raising issues about the sentence's fairness under constitutional standards. The case highlights the tension between personal actions and political justification in the justice system.
