President Donald Trump speaks to guests in the Grand Foyer of the White House during the Congressional Ball, Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)2025-12-12T17:49:01Z WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump said Friday that Thai and Cambodian leaders have agreed to renew a truce after days of deadly clashes had threatened to undo a ceasefire the U.S. administration had helped broker earlier this year.Trump announced the agreement to restart the ceasefire in a social media posting following calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet.They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, Trump said in his Truth Social posting.The original ceasefire in July was brokered by Malaysia and pushed through by pressure from Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless Thailand and Cambodia agreed. It was formalized in more detail in October at a regional meeting in Malaysia that Trump attended.Despite the deal, the two countries carried on a bitter propaganda war and minor cross-border violence continued.

Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey salutes as Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, watches from stage during a relinquishment of command and retirement ceremony at U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, in Doral, Fla. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)2025-12-12T16:50:49Z DORAL, Fla. (AP) A U.S. Navy admiral who oversees military operations in Latin America handed off command responsibilities Friday as scrutiny increases over the Trump administrations deadly strikes on alleged drug boats in the region.Adm. Alvin Holsey has retired one year into a posting that typically lasts three to four years and transferred leadership duties to his top military deputy, Air Force Lt. Gen. Evan Pettus, during a ceremony at U.S. Southern Command headquarters near Miami. In farewell remarks, Holsey did not mention the military operations or the reasons for his early retirement. But he urged his successor to uphold longstanding partnerships in the region by standing firmly behind the shared values of democracy and support for the rule of law.To be a trusted partner, we must be credible, present and engaged, Holsey said. Holseys shock retirement was announced by the Pentagon in October, over a month into the Trump administrations strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean that have killed at least 87 people. With the campaign facing growing scrutiny by Congress, Holsey briefed key lawmakers earlier this week. Long-term replacement for Holsey hasnt yet been namedThe ceremony Friday was more subdued than past retirements, held outdoors amid a small crowd of mostly Southern Command staff and without Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, because President Donald Trump has yet to nominate Holseys replacement. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made no mention of the military operations in Latin America as he thanked Holsey on for his 37 years of service. Caine referred to Holsey as a stoic leader and quiet professional who always leads with his heart and head.Its never been about you, its been about people, its been about others, Caine said. Youve never said I in all the conversations weve had. Youve always said we. The impact youve had will last for a long time. Holsey is departing as Congress is scrutinizing the boat attacks, including one that killed two survivors clinging to the wreckage of an initial strike. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Hegseth and other top officials have given classified briefings on Capitol Hill this week. Holsey also spoke this week to key lawmakers overseeing the U.S. military by classified video call. Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said afterward that Holsey answered senators questions but that there are still many questions to be answered. Reed later added that Holsey did not give a reason for his retirement other than saying it was a personal decision. Boat strike scrutiny increasesExperts in the rules of warfare, human rights groups and even some of Trumps allies in Congress have questioned the legality of the attacks on those accused of ferrying drugs. For decades, they were arrested at sea by the Coast Guard and brought to the U.S. for criminal prosecution.The 22 known strikes against alleged drug-smuggling vessels are being supported by a giant flotilla of U.S. warships, attack helicopters, thousands of troops and even the nations most advanced aircraft carrier.Trumps Republican administration has defended its aggressive tactics, designating several drug cartels in Latin America as foreign terrorist organizations and declaring that the U.S. is in armed conflict with those criminal organizations, relying on a legal argument that gained traction after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.The campaign has ramped up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro, who has been charged with narcoterrorism in the U.S. In a sharp escalation Wednesday, U.S. forces seized a sanctioned oil tanker that the Trump administration has accused of smuggling illicit crude. Sale of that oil on global energy markets is critical to Maduros grip on power.Maduro has insisted the real purpose of the U.S. military operations is to force him from office.Holseys departure is the latest in a long line of sudden retirements and firings that have befallen the militarys top ranks since Hegseth took charge of the Pentagon. A native of rural Fort Valley, Georgia, whose father and several uncles served in Vietnam, Holsey relinquished his command to Pettus to a soulful rendition of Midnight Train to Georgia.Pettus, a fighter jet pilot with combat experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, had been serving as Holseys top deputy since late 2024. However, its unclear how long the Arkansas native will remain in the job. Whomever Trump nominates must be confirmed by the Senate.

This combination of six undated photos shows hostages, from top left, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi, from bottom left, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov, and Carmel Gat, who were held hostage by Hamas militants in Gaza. On Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, the Hostages Families Forum announced their deaths while in Hamas captivity. (The Hostages Families Forum via AP)2025-12-12T13:34:12Z TEL AVIV (AP) New footage of six Israeli hostages shows them celebrating the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah while being held captive in a tunnel in Gaza, several months before they were killed.Israel said all six were killed last August by Hamas, shortly before Israeli troops arrived.The videos and photos were published Thursday for the first time by the forum representing hostage families. They show Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23; Ori Danino, 25; Eden Yerushalmi, 24; Almog Sarusi, 27; Alexander Lobanov, 33; and Carmel Gat, 40, filmed under duress, walking through a tunnel in Gaza, playing cards on the floor and lighting the holiday candles. The forum said the footage was found in Gaza and documented the hostages months in captivity. At least some was likely filmed during Hanukkah in December 2023, weeks after theyd been abducted during Hamas Oct. 7, attack that sparked the war. The Israeli army said their bodies were recovered from a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah and there was no doubt Hamas killed them. The Israeli Health Ministry said that autopsies had determined the hostages were shot at close range. At the time of their deaths, a senior Hamas official said the hostages would still be alive if Israel had accepted a U.S.-backed proposal that Hamas said it had recently agreed to. Families praise hostages unity and strengthThe hostages killings last year sparked protests across the country, at a time when ceasefire negotiations were dragging, with many blaming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to reach a deal. Some of the hostages Goldberg-Polin, Yerushalmi and Gat had been slated to be released in the first phase of a ceasefire proposal discussed a month prior.Its truly heartbreaking They managed to protect their humanity and each other, and we failed to protect them, Gili Roman, who has family ties to Gat, told The Associated Press. Netanyahu praised himself for bringing home all of the hostages but he brought them home in body bags, he said. Roman said that the families saw the videos a few months ago but only received them from the army recently. The videos are a reminder of the failure by Israel and Hamas to reach a deal when both knew the hostages were still alive, said Gil Dickmann, a cousin of Gat. Now the body of the last remaining hostage, police officer Ran Gvili, must be returned, Dickmann said.We will demand from our government, we will demand from Hamas to not to do anything else, not to proceed to the second stage (of the current ceasefire deal) until Rani is back and all the hostages are back, he said.In a statement Thursday the families of the hostages said Hamas filmed the videos as propaganda, and thanked Israelis and people around the world for watching the harrowing footage. The entire world must see our loved ones in these moments, their unity, strength, and humanity even in the darkest times. They were taken alive, they survived in captivity, and they should have come home alive, said the statement. The footage comes days ahead of Hanukkah this year and as the two-month-old ceasefire reaches a critical point. With the remains of one hostage still in Gaza, the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire is nearly complete. Now, the key players including Israel, Hamas, the United States and a diverse list of international parties are to move to a more complicated second phase. Candles and prayers for HanukkahThe series of short videos and photos shows the hostages seated on blankets on the floor, at times embracing one another and saying prayers over the Hanukkah candles. In one video theyre heard counting down and wishing each other a happy new year. In one photo the two women, Yerushalmi and Gat, are seated across from each other with a chessboard between them. Some videos panned across the hostages as they smiled or spoke to the camera. We are here in good health, alive, and they are taking care of us, said Goldberg-Polin, in Hebrew. We want to return back home. A native of Berkeley, California, Goldberg-Polin lost part of his left arm to a grenade in the attack and the stump of his arm is seen in the video. His parents, U.S.-born immigrants to Israel, were some of the most high-profile relatives of hostages on the international stage. In another message of hope, Sarusi sits on the floor in a white tank top beside the burning Hanukkah candles.Happy holiday to all of us and to all the people of Israel, he said into the camera. With the help of the holidays miracles, we will come home. SAM MEDNICK Mednick is an AP correspondent for Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee today released photographs from the Jeffrey Epstein estate confirming the close ties President Donald Trump had to the late child sex trafficker, and documenting his proximity to the young women who were victimized.Committee Democrats released 19 photos revealing some of the most notable figures in Epsteins orbit, including Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and former Prince Andrew.

A man records a humanoid robot inside the exhibition room at the Humanoids Summit, Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, in Mountain View, Calif. (AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vsquez)2025-12-12T18:15:26Z MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) Robots have long been seen as a bad bet for Silicon Valley investors too complicated, capital-intensive and boring, honestly, says venture capitalist Modar Alaoui. But the commercial boom in artificial intelligence has lit a spark under long-simmering visions to build humanoid robots that can move their mechanical bodies like humans and do things that people do. Alaoui, founder of the Humanoids Summit, gathered more than 2,000 people this week, including top robotics engineers from Disney, Google and dozens of startups, to showcase their technology and debate what it will take to accelerate a nascent industry. Alaoui says many researchers now believe humanoids or some other kind of physical embodiment of AI are going to become the norm. The question is really just how long it will take, he said.Disneys contribution to the field, a walking robotic version of Frozen character Olaf, will be roaming on its own through Disneyland theme parks in Hong Kong and Paris early next year. Entertaining and highly complex robots that resemble a human or a snowman are already here, but the timeline for general purpose robots that are a productive member of a workplace or household is farther away. Even at a conference designed to build enthusiasm for the technology, held at a Computer History Museum thats a temple to Silicon Valleys previous breakthroughs, skepticism remained high that truly humanlike robots will take root anytime soon. The humanoid space has a very, very big hill to climb, said Cosima du Pasquier, founder and CEO of Haptica Robotics, which works to give robots a sense of touch. Theres a lot of research that still needs to be solved. The Stanford University postdoctoral researcher came to the conference in Mountain View, California, just a week after incorporating her startup.

Investor excitement has poured money into ambitious startups aiming to build hardware that will bring a physical presence to the latest AI. But its not just crossover hype the same technical advances that made AI chatbots so good at language have played a role in teaching robots how to get better at performing tasks. Paired with computer vision, robots powered by visual-language models are trained to learn about their surroundings. One of the most prominent skeptics is robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks, a co-founder of Roomba vacuum maker iRobot who wrote in September that todays humanoid robots will not learn how to be dexterous despite the hundreds of millions, or perhaps many billions of dollars, being donated by VCs and major tech companies to pay for their training. Brooks didnt attend but his essay was frequently mentioned.Also missing was anyone speaking for Tesla CEO Elon Musks development of a humanoid called Optimus, a project that the billionaire is designing to be extremely capable and sold in high volumes. Musk said three years ago that people can probably buy an Optimus within three to five years.The conferences organizer, Alaoui, founder and general partner of ALM Ventures, previously worked on driver attention systems for the automotive industry and sees parallels between humanoids and the early years of self-driving cars.Near the entrance to the summit venue, just blocks from Googles headquarters, is a museum exhibit showing Googles bubble-shaped 2014 prototype of a self-driving car. Eleven years later, self-driving cars full of passengers operated by Google affiliate Waymo are constantly plying the streets nearby. Some robots with human elements are already being tested in workplaces. Oregon-based Agility Robotics announced shortly before the conference that it is bringing its tote-carrying warehouse robot Digit to a Texas distribution facility run by Mercado Libre, the Latin American e-commerce giant. Much like the Olaf robot, it has inverted legs that are more birdlike than human.Industrial robots performing single tasks are already commonplace in car assembly and other manufacturing. They work with a level of speed and precision thats difficult for todays humanoids or humans themselves to match. The head of a robotics trade group founded in 1974 is now lobbying the U.S. government to develop a stronger national strategy to advance the development of homegrown robots, be they humanoids or otherwise.We have a lot of strong technology, we have the AI expertise here in the U.S., said Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, after touring the expo Thursday. So I think it remains to be seen who is the ultimate leader in this. But right now, China has certainly a lot more momentum on humanoids.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore walks off the field following an NCAA football game on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, in Ann Arbor, Mich.

(AP) Sherrone Moore, who was abruptly fired this week as the University of Michigan football coach, was charged Friday with three crimes including home invasion and stalking a person he had dated, prosecutors said.Moore has spent two nights in jail following his firing and subsequent arrest Wednesday.The 39-year-old coach who had led the Wolverines for two seasons was fired for what the school called an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Hours later, police arrested Moore after he was accused of assault in Pittsfield Township, a community near Ann Arbor.Moore is accused of unlawfully entering the dwelling of a victim with whom Mr. Moore had a dating relationship, the Washtenaw County prosecutors office said Friday.Michigan prosecutors said Moore terrorized his former girlfriend after losing his head coach job. Defense attorney Joe Simon said Friday, Theres no evidence to suggest hes a threat.Michigan has not disclosed details of the alleged relationship but said an investigation found credible evidence against Moore, who is married with three young daughters. Athletic director Warde Manuel said the behavior was a clear violation of university policy. Moore signed a five-year contract with a base annual salary of $5.5 million last year. According to the terms of his deal, the university will not have to buy out the remaining years of his contract because he was fired for cause. Think you know who belongs in the Top 25? Now its your turn to vote with the AP Top 25 fan poll. Moore, the teams former offensive coordinator, was promoted to lead the Wolverines after they won the national title. He succeeded Jim Harbaugh, who returned to the NFL to lead the Los Angeles Chargers. Michigan is set to play No. 14 Texas on Dec. 31 in the Citrus Bowl. Biff Poggi, who filled in for Moore when he was suspended earlier this season in relation to a Harbaugh-era sign-stealing scandal, will serve as interim coach. While the school seeks a new head coach, the Wolverines may lose players in the transfer portal this winter and donors who help fund revenue-sharing and NIL deals may hesitate to invest in the winningest program in college football history.___Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

A judge in Maryland ruled this week that a lawsuit alleging Education Secretary Linda McMahon and her husband, Vince McMahon, knew about and failed to prevent the sexual abuse of underage boys by a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announcer could proceed.As Axios reports, the McMahons who co-founded the sports entertainment company that would become WWE in 1980 are both named as defendants in a lawsuit filed last year on behalf of five former WWE ring boys. The plaintiffs, who have since been joined by three additional alleged victims, claim that they were sexually abused by former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips as teenagers after being recruited by him to serve as ringside assistants, or ring boys, at WWE events in the 1980s and 90s. Related Trump administration partners with 41 hateful organizations for new civics initiative The suit further alleges that Phillips abuse was widely known within the company, including by the McMahons, who allegedly knowingly allowed Phillips to exploit his position at the WWE to groom and abuse Ring Boys. It cites a sworn deposition in which New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick claimed that Vince McMahon told him that he and Linda knew that Phillips, who died in 2012, had a peculiar and unnatural interest and attachment to children as early as the 1980s. It alleges that the McMahons fired Phillips in 1988 following allegations of abuse, only to rehire him six weeks later.The suit also quotes multiple former WWE wrestlers and employees who have spoken over the years about Phillips alleged abuse of young boys, including a former high-level WWE executive who said that the McMahons clearly knew what was going on, but really did nothing to stop it.

Subscribe to our Newsletter today In June, the McMahons, who are reportedly separated, filed motions to dismiss the case. According to Axios, on Wednesday, December 10, District Court Judge James Bredar granted both the McMahons motions in regard to one plaintiff and Lindas in regard to five others. The remaining cases will proceed however, because, as Bredar wrote in his ruling, the Plaintiffs have plausibly pled that the adults around them including Vincent and Linda McMahonhad relevant knowledge at relevant times, and that they could and should have taken action to prevent the abuse and the harm that ensued.Linda McMahons lawyer, Laura Brevetti, described the lawsuit to the Washington Post last year as baseless. As Axios noted last year, the Education Secretary is just one of several figures in Donald Trumps second administration who have been connected to allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump himself was found liable in 2022 for sexual abuse and defamation in a case brought by journalist E. Jean Carroll, who accused the president of raping her in the 1990s. As Secretary of Education, McMahon, who had no experience in education prior to her appointment outside of a year spent on the Connecticut State Board of Education in the 2000s, has made enforcing the Trump administrations anti-LGBTQ+ policies a priority. She has threatened legal action over including trans children in school sports, suggested trans-friendly bathroom policies violate Title IX, and investigated Californias law against forced outing of trans students.In August, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice launched the Title IX Special Investigations Team, aimed in part at going after schools that allow trans women and girls to participate in womens and girls sports programs.To all the entities that continue to allow men to compete in womens sports, theres a new sheriff in town, McMahon has said of the administrations efforts to roll back trans inclusion on school sports.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

Nicholas Galitzine is stepping into one of the most iconic roles in fantasy pop culture, but the journey to becoming He-Man was far from effortless. The Red, White & Royal Blue star is opening up about the grueling physical transformation required for his lead role in the upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe film, set to hit theaters June 5, 2026.The 31-year-old British actor takes over the role previously embodied by Dolph Lundgren in the 1987 film. This time, the franchise is getting a modern revival, and Galitzine says preparing for the part pushed him further than ever before. In an interview with People, he described the transformation process as the hardest thing Ive ever done.Galitzine, who filmed his fantasy romance 100 Nights of Hero while bulking up, said the dual workload amplified the challenge. It was a daily challenge, he said. There is something incredibly empowering about committing to something so heavily. Ive never had a challenge like that before. Every single day you have to wake up and you can see the peak of the mountain vaguely, but especially when youre bulking. I think it would be insincere for me to say that it was easy.Dolph Lundgren in a scene from the film Masters Of The Universe, 1987. (Photo by Warner Brothers/Getty Images)The actor admitted that gaining so much muscle mass took an emotional toll as well. He experienced moments of body dysmorphia, explaining, You dont recognize yourself, you dont fit in any of your clothes anymore. His growing frame even left a noticeable dent on the side of his bed. Still, the transformation felt worthwhile. Im so gratified that I got to experience it, he said. Trying to fit this very larger-than-life character is something Ill never forget.Galitzine shared the first official look at his He-Man in June, posting a photo from behind in full costume, arm guards, tall boots and a longsword, while flexing his newly sculpted physique. In the caption, he wrote: It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. Its been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it.The highly anticipated film also stars Jared Leto as Skeletor, joined by Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops and Game of Thrones alum Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man. Riverdale star Camila Mendes will play Teela, He-Mans love interest.For Galitzine, who called the role a dream for so long, the experience has been transformative both physically and professionally but dont expect him to maintain He-Man levels of muscle year-round. Its not something Id be keen to do or maintain, he said with a laugh.With its star fully committed and its release date set, Masters of the Universe is already shaping up to be one of 2026s most anticipated, and most thirsted-after, blockbusters.Source

The Department of Justice seal is seen at the Justice Department, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2025-12-12T18:28:54Z WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department asked an appeals court on Friday to block a contempt investigation of the Trump administration for failing to turn around planes carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in March.The department also is seeking to Chief Judge James Boasbergs removal from the case, accusing him of a radical, retaliatory, unconstitutional campaign against the Trump administration.It marks a dramatic escalation in the Justice Departments lengthy feud with the judge appointed to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, setting the stage for a showdown over the judiciarys power to serve as a check on an administration that has pushed the boundaries of court orders.The department wants the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to rule on its requests before Monday, when Boasberg is scheduled hear testimony from a former government attorney who filed a whistleblower complaint. Department officials claim Boasberg is biased and creating a circus that threatens the separation of powers and the attorney-client privilege alike. The forthcoming hearing has every appearance of an endless fishing expedition aimed at an ever-widening list of witnesses and prolonged testimony. That spectacle is not a genuine effort to uncover any relevant facts, they wrote. Boasberg has said that a recent ruling by the appeals court gave him the authority to proceed with the contempt inquiry. The judge is trying determine if there is sufficient evidence to refer the matter for prosecution. Boasberg, who has been chief judge of the district court in Washington, D.C., since March 2023, has said the Trump administration may have acted in bad faith by trying to rush Venezuelan migrants out of the country in defiance of his order blocking their deportations to El Salvador.In an April 16 order, the judge said he gave the administration ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions but concluded that none of their responses has been satisfactory. The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it, Boasberg wrote.The Trump administration has denied any violation, saying the judges March 15 directive to return the planes was made verbally in court but not included in his written order.Trump called for impeaching Boasberg in March. In July, the Justice Department filed a misconduct complaint accusing Boasberg of making improper public comments about Trump and his administration.In a social media post on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Boasberg of engaging in lawless judicial activism.This radical, retaliatory, unconstitutional campaign against the Trump Administration will not stand, Bondi wrote.Boasberg has scheduled a hearing on Monday for testimony by former Justice Department attorney Erez Reuveni, whose whistleblower complaint claims a top department official suggested the Trump administration might have to ignore court orders as it prepared to deport Venezuelan migrants. The judge also scheduled a hearing on Tuesday for testimony by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign. The Justice Department has said Ensign conveyed Boasbergs March 15 oral order and a subsequent written order to the Department of Homeland Security. This long-running saga never should have begun; should not have continued at all after this Courts last intervention; and certainly should not be allowed to escalate into the unseemly and unnecessary interbranch conflict that it now imminently portends, department officials said in Fridays court filing.In a written declaration to the court, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she made the decision not to return the planes to the U.S. after receiving privileged legal advice from the Homeland Security Departments acting general counsel and through him from the senior leadership of the Department of Justice.Boasberg called Noems declaration cursory and said it doesnt provide him with enough information to determine whether she willfully violated his March 15 order.

Gay Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) reminded Donald Trump that he cannot issue a presidential pardon for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters. Peters was convicted of election interference in state court in August 2024, and presidential pardons cannot exonerate state-level criminal convictions. As such, Peters will continue to serve the rest of her nine-year sentence, even though Trump has threatened harsh measures if she isnt freed. Related FBI raids Lauren Boeberts former campaign managers home over election tampering allegations Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest, Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!Peters was convicted of seven criminal counts (including four felonies) connected to allowing an unauthorized person to access data from voting software in the county and then lying about it, as part of a scheme to prove the QAnon-related conspiracy theory about the 2020 election being rigged to help Joe Biden win.

But Trump and Republicans repeatedly pushed this lie in the media and courts, even as nearly 60 judges threw out GOP election fraud cases due to a lack of evidence.Earlier this month, Trump called Polis a sleazebag for refusing to release Peters, who Trump referred to as a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians. This lightweight Governor, who has allowed his State to go to hell should be ashamed of himself, Trump wrote. She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!Trump didnt specify what harsh measures he would take, but in the past, he has withheld federal funding from states that defy his wishes. However, presidential pardons only work for federal convictions, something Polis pointed out to Trump in a Thursday evening post on X.Tina Peters was convicted by a jury of her peers, prosecuted by a Republican District Attorney, and found guilty of violating Colorado state laws, including criminal impersonation, Polis wrote. No President has jurisdiction over state law nor the power to pardon a person for state convictions.
