Boebert Claims Trump Withheld Colorado Water Funds Over Peters Prosecution
TL;DR Summary
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert claims Donald Trump blocked a federal clean-water funding bill for Colorado to pressure over Tina Peters’ prosecution; Peters’ nine-year sentence was commuted by Gov. Polis, and Boebert has argued Trump used leverage similar to past foreign aid pressure. The water project would have served about 50,000 residents, and Trump had vetoed the funding bill earlier despite Boebert’s support.
