Colorado Governor Shoots Down Trump Pardon of Tina Peters

Source: Newsweek

Colorado Governor Jared Polis rejected President Donald Trump’s declaration that he has granted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters a “full pardon” saying it 'is a matter for the courts to decide".

Peters, who was convicted in 2024 on multiple state charges—including attempting to influence a public servant and criminal impersonation—remains incarcerated at La Vista Correctional Facility while her appeal proceeds.

In a post on X Thursday, Polis wrote that Peters “was convicted by a jury of her peers, prosecuted by a Republican District Attorney, and found guilty of violating Colorado state laws, including criminal impersonation.
