Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has strongly criticized the U.S. Department of Justice under Donald Trump for intervening in a state-level criminal case.
The case involves Tina Peters, a former election official convicted for her role in spreading 2020 election conspiracy theories. Weiser called the DOJ’s involvement a 'grotesque attempt to weaponize the rule of law' and a 'wholly inappropriate' political move. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over election integrity and federal influence in state legal matters.
The DOJ’s actions have sparked concerns about political interference in the judicial process.

Typical leftist hypocrisy—Democrats can weaponize the justice system all they want, but the second Trump’s DOJ pushes back, they start crying about "interference."
This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of power we were worried about under Trump. His DOJ had no business interfering in a state case just to protect one of his election-denying cronies. Republicans love to scream about "election integrity," but they’re the ones constantly trying to rig the system in their favor.
