  • The Department of Justice is reviewing the prosecution of a former Colorado clerk who was convicted in state court of helping President Donald Trump's supporters access confidential data about the 2020 election and is supporting her bid to get out of jail.

The Justice Department is currently reviewing the prosecution of Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who supported former President Donald Trump's false claims about the 2020 election. Peters was indicted on charges including attempting to influence a public servant, identity theft, and criminal impersonation after she allegedly allowed an unauthorized person to access election equipment. This review comes in the wake of a recommendation by a special prosecutor, who suggested that the case be dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct. The investigation into Peters began after she made unfounded allegations of election fraud and was involved in a security breach of voting machines. The outcome of the Justice Department's review could potentially influence how similar cases involving election officials and election integrity are handled in the future.
