There is an article from The Gateway Pundit, published on May 5, 2025, reports that President Donald Trump directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to take all necessary actions to secure the release of Tina Peters, a 68-year-old former Mesa County, Colorado, Clerk sentenced to nine years in prison. Peters, is a gold star mother, was convicted for her efforts to expose election fraud in the 2020 election. It was political persecution by a radical left-leaning Colorado judicial system and Jenna Griswold, which incidentlly Griswold wants to become the next Attorney General of Colorado. The Gateway Pundit highlights Trump’s response following an amicus brief filed by his friend and former schoolmate, Peter Ticktin, in support of Peters, emphasizing her poor health and the harsh treatment she received from the sentencing judge, who insulted her and referenced her “white privilege.”
Peters’ case is a symbol of broader systemic issues, accusing Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser of ignoring violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants while targeting Peters for her election-related actions. Trump’s directive as a bold move to address the “Biden regime’s” weaponization of the justice system against political opponents. Trump’s intervention is a defense of American patriots against a corrupt, left-leaning establishment. There are social media posts, such as one from David J. Harris Jr., amplify that Peters’ sentencing was unjust and politically motivated.

“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. 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!”
