POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump met with former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters at the White House this week to discuss “election integrity,” according to a former administration official.

Peters, who became a prominent figure among Trump supporters after being convicted for unauthorized access to election equipment and serving time in prison, was recently released following a commutation of her sentence by Colorado Governor Jared Polis. The meeting occurred just weeks before the November midterms, a period when Republicans face potential losses in both chambers of Congress.
