The meeting followed her release from state prison earlier this month after serving part of a nearly nine-year sentence. The clerk had been convicted in 2024 on seven counts, including three counts of attempting to influence a public official. She had certified 2020 election results for one Colorado county in favor of Trump and allowed access to voting equipment.
Background on the Case The clerk was sentenced after being convicted over actions tied to the 2020 presidential election. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted her sentence earlier this month. President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the clerk visited the White House to thank him for her release.
He stated she had been imprisoned for exposing election issues. The president repeated earlier claims that voting machines and mail-in ballots present risks. He also said he had pressed the governor to release the clerk since taking office in January.
