Peters at White House Sparks Controversy | Denver News

Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk convicted for allegedly aiding election fraud conspiracies, made headlines after a White House photo op with Donald Trump—claiming she was there to thank him for her prison sentence commutation by Colorado Governor Jared Polis. But the story’s twist? Polis had quietly fired two clemency board members who leaked that they’d twice rejected Peters’ requests for mercy, violating strict confidentiality rules. The governor insists the leaks damaged the board’s integrity, and has swiftly appointed replacements to keep the process moving—amid a national debate over whether Peters was a dangerous threat to democracy or a political scapegoat.
