From Fox News: A Colorado county clerk convicted in a pro-Trump 2020 election denial scheme was threatened and attacked in prison, her lawyer says.
Tina Peters, 70, is serving a nine-year sentence on state charges in Colorado. Her attorney, Peter Ticktin, says she has been violently attacked by fellow inmates on three separate occasions. Ticktin made the claim in a Saturday letter addressed to President Donald Trump, who has expressed keen interest in the case.
“About 6 months ago, Mrs. Peters was threatened with harm. Her life was threatened by a group of inmates, to stab her and to kill her. This was reported to the FBI and DOJ, which had agents interview her. She was moved to a different unit,” Ticktin wrote.
“In the new unit, she was attacked by other prisoners three times in different locations where guards had to pull inmates off of her,” the letter continued. “There is actually a safe unit where inmates who do not cause problems can be assigned. She has applied to be put into that unit but was denied six times without a valid reason.”

Peters is a cancer survivor, and a “gold star” mother. Her son, a combat veteran and US Navy SEAL, was killed in 2017 at age 27 in a parachute accident while performing at an air show in New York City.
President Trump had requested in August that Peters be released from prison immediately. However, she was charged by the state of Colorado, and not by the federal government, so Trump is unable to pardon her.
The Trump administration formally requested last month that the State of Colorado transfer Peters to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Last week, Gov. Polis rejected that request.
Trump has argued that Peters “was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law.”
