DENVER, Colo., President Donald Trump issued a symbolic pardon Thursday for former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, even though the move carries no legal weight and cannot free her from the nine-year state prison sentence she is serving for orchestrating a 2020 election-system breach. Trump repeated his false claim that Peters was targeted for trying to ensure “Fair and Honest” elections, despite the fact that courts, audits, and his own former attorney general found no evidence of widespread fraud. Peters, 70, was convicted for allowing an unauthorized man, later tied to MyPillow CEO and election-fraud promoter Mike Lindell, to use a stolen security badge to access voting-machine software. She then misled investigators about his identity. Legal scholars note the president can pardon only federal crimes, leaving Colorado Gov. Jared Polis as the only official capable of commuting her sentence. As of early Thursday evening, no federal clemency document appeared on the government website. Trump has increasingly issued symbolic pardons for allies charged in state courts, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, part of a broader pattern of efforts to legitimize disproven claims about the 2020 election. Peters’ supporters have pressed for her release and sought a prison transfer to federal custody, which Colorado corrections officials have rejected. A federal magistrate judge this week denied her request for release pending appeal, leaving her conviction firmly in place as experts warn Trump’s symbolic clemency campaign risks undermining federalist principles. --- Sources: * Yahoo News – MBFC Rating The post Trump’s Symbolic Pardon for Tina Peters Highlights Ongoing Election Conspiracy Push appeared first on News Facts Network.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit accusing Starbucks of carrying out racially discriminatory hiring and promotion practices, escalating a conservative legal campaign against corporate DEI policies. Uthmeier said the company “turned DEI into a mandatory hiring and promotion system based on race,” arguing that the coffee chain violated state anti-discrimination laws through initiatives introduced in 2020. The complaint says multiple Florida residents, including long-time Starbucks employees, contacted the attorney general’s office claiming they felt “excluded” by company practices. One individual who reportedly worked at Starbucks for 17 years alleged that workers of certain races were paid higher wages than peers with similar experience. Uthmeier also cited the company’s stated goal of increasing representation of people of color in retail and corporate positions, along with supplier diversity targets and participation-focused mentorship programs, as evidence of unlawful conduct. Starbucks said it “disagrees” with the lawsuit and maintains its hiring practices are inclusive, lawful, and open to all employees. A spokesperson added that the company’s programs are designed to ensure the strongest candidate is selected for each job. The lawsuit seeks to bar Starbucks from continuing the alleged practices and requests damages and $10,000 in civil penalties for each discriminatory act. Uthmeier claims “tens of millions” of Florida residents could be affected, given the state’s more than 900 stores, though the complaint does not detail how those individuals were harmed. --- Sources: * The Hill – MBFC Rating The post Florida AG Targets Starbucks DEI Programs in New Discrimination Lawsuit appeared first on News Facts Network.
