The Department of Justice is reviewing the prosecution of a former Colorado clerk who was convicted in state court of helping President Donald Trump's supporters access confidential data about the 2020 election and is supporting her bid to get out of jail.

The Justice Department on Monday filed a highly unusual motion stating its intent to review a state-level conviction of a Trump ally who was sentenced to nine years in prison for leading a security breach of her county's elections computer system following the 2020 presidential election.

The decision, revealed in a filing in a Colorado clerk’s bid to overturn her conviction, marks another example of President Trump’s Justice Department intervening to aid supporters or go after foes.
