President Donald Trump raged at a governor whom he derided as a "sleazbag" on Wednesday for declining to free one of Trump's allies from prison.

Earlier this week, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis' office directed state prison officials not to comply with a request Trump made for Colorado to relinquish custody of convicted felon Tina Peters. Peters, 70, is serving a nine-year sentence for her role in leaking passwords for Mesa County, Colorado's election system to right-wing actors in regards to Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump fumed at Polis in a new Truth Social post on Wednesday.

"The SLEAZEBAG Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, refuses to allow an elderly woman, Tina Peters, who was unfairly convicted of what the Democrats do, cheating on Elections, out of jail!" Trump wrote. "She was convicted for trying to stop Democrats from stealing Colorado Votes in the Election. She was preserving Election Records, which she was obligated to do under Federal Law."

"She has now served more than one year in jail, and has eight years to go," he continued. "On top of everything else, she is a cancer 'survivor.' This lightweight Governor, who has allowed his State to go to hell (Tren de Aragua, anyone?), should be ashamed of himself. FREE TINA!"
