The battle over the fate of Tina Peters, a disgraced Colorado elections official who was convicted of felonies related to efforts to interfere with the 2020 election on Donald Trump's behalf, grew thornier on Sunday with the intervention of the president himself. Peters, who remains in a Colorado prison after her conviction on seven charges last year, remains adamant that she acted within the bounds of legality and her personal responsibility when she allowed an associate of MyPillow salesman and Trump loyalist Mike Lindell to access a secure room to make a copy of a hard drive containing data from the 2020 presidential election results for the state of Colorado. Trump, on Sunday, called for Peters to be freed immediately. "FREE TINA PETERS, WHO SITS IN A COLORADO PRISON, DYING & OLD, FOR ATTEMPTING TO EXPOSE VOTER FRAUD IN THE RIGGED 2O20 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!" wrote Trump in one of his all-caps Truth Social diatribes.

"Five months later, Mr. Trump has all but admitted defeat." "Mr. Bolsonaro, 70, is in a prison cell, starting a 27-year sentence. And Mr. Trump " after a chummy meeting with Mr. Lula " has just removed the most significant tariffs against Brazil."
