60 MINUTES INTERVIEWS GOV. JARED POLIS (D) AND TINA PETERS AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMAND FOR FORMER COLORADO ELECTION OFFICIAL TO BE FREED

Tonight on 60 MINUTES (Oct. 25): After one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, Governor Jared Polis (D) asked the Trump administration for federal aid but was denied. The decision came as a top election official, Tina Peters, was serving a prison sentence after being convicted in connection with breaching her county’s election system in pursuit of President Trump’s claim that rigged voting machines cost him the 2020 election. Governor Polis commuted Peters’ sentence in May and saw the release of federal funding into his state. Correspondent Bill Whitaker interviewed Governor Polis and Peters in Colorado about the case, conviction and commutation.
