CBS News reported that President Trump has gone to "extraordinary lengths" on behalf of Tina Peters, a former Colorado election official convicted of helping to breach the voting system she swore to protect.
According to CBS News, Peters served less than two years in prison for crimes related to breaching voting system security. The outlet's summary did not describe the specific steps Trump has taken on her behalf or say what those steps have achieved.
CBS News reported that Peters maintains she was trying to show flaws in the system. The summary presented that position as her account, did not include independent findings on whether such flaws exist, and did not state whether any court has accepted or rejected that argument.
The summary describes Peters's case in terms of a conviction and a sentence of less than two years, and it links that conviction to the breach of voting system security. It did not describe the charges in detail, the court involved, or the timeline of the case.
CBS News said 60 Minutes reports on the matter on Sunday. The summary did not give further details about what the segment would include or whether any other outlet has reported on Trump's involvement in the case.
Only one source was available for this report, so the account of Trump's efforts, Peters's sentence, and her stated reasoning is limited to what CBS News described. Details beyond that summary were not available, and this report does not add facts from any other source.
