Trump pardons Tina Peters for state court charges.

President Trump granted a pardon to Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk serving time for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines. Despite being convicted in state court, Trump claimed Peters was targeted for exposing voter fraud in the 2020 election. Colorado officials criticized the pardon, stating Trump has no authority to pardon state crimes. Peters was convicted on multiple charges and denied wrongdoing. Trump’s interest in Peters’ case stems from her support of his election fraud claims, similar to his previous pardons for Capitol rioters and Giuliani.
