President Donald Trump on Tuesday welcomed former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters to the White House following her release from prison.

Peters was recently released from prison after Gov. Jared Polis, D-Colo., commuted her sentence earlier this year. She was serving nine years over a 2020 election case.

"'FREE TINA!' became the rallying cry of the Republican Party over the past two years. Tina Peters just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado. She was put there because she found Election Fraud, but instead of arresting the people that committed the Fraud, they arrested her!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

"They gave her nine years in jail, and she served two, much time in solitary confinement along with hardened criminals and murderers, and then I got the Republican Party into gear, and she was released," he added. "Tina is 70-years-old, suffered a major bout with cancer, but hopefully is now cancer free. What she went through should never happen to anyone again. Just think of it, she caught the Democrats cheating, and they put her in jail for Voter Fraud. They didn’t want her out there speaking to the Media."

"She knows that the Voting Machines are RIGGED, that the Mail In Ballots are a DISASTER, and that our Elections are very Dangerous and Corrupt at a time when, with the Threat of Communism, we must be very wise and careful! It was an Honor to have lunch with her," he added. "I was fortunate, my Vote in 2024 was TOO BIG TO RIG, but they tried. There wasn’t a thing they could do about it, but not everyone is in that position."

Peters was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2024 on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with the requirements of the secretary of state.

The former county clerk was a proponent of Trump's 2020 election fraud claims. She gave a man linked to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell access to a voting machine in a bid to recover evidence to support those assertions.
