Sheriff Dar Leaf of Barry County, Michigan, has sent a bombshell cover letter to President Trump, dated June 5, 2025, alleging that Dominion Voting Systems CEO committed perjury and that the Deep State orchestrated a campaign to silence whistleblower Tina Peters. According to Leaf, Peters’ only crime was revealing the truth about U.S. election systems—and she paid for it with her freedom.
Sheriff Leaf: “Dominion Was the Impetus of Weaponization”
In his correspondence and supporting documentation, Leaf outlines how Dominion’s internal panic following Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ 2021 data disclosures set off a retaliatory chain reaction among federal and state officials determined to discredit her findings. Those disclosures included forensic images and logs from Dominion’s election systems in Colorado—information Peters claims demonstrated election system vulnerabilities and potential illegal data manipulation.
Sheriff Leaf claims that internal Dominion communications show coordinated action to suppress these revelations. Rather than allowing open investigation or transparency, Leaf says the Deep State—working through the DOJ, Colorado’s Secretary of State, Attorney General, and judiciary—pivoted immediately to retribution.
“From that point on,” Leaf wrote, “Clerk Peters was persecuted, prosecuted, framed, and sentenced to prison.”
The Perjury Allegation
Leaf also alleges that Dominion’s CEO committed perjury in sworn statements related to Peters’ case—statements used by the state of Colorado to justify raids, charges, and the eventual October 2024 conviction of Peters, who is now serving a 9-year sentence.
While Leaf did not detail the exact instance of perjury in the summary letter, he indicated that supporting evidence has been compiled and forwarded to relevant authorities, including congressional investigators and Trump’s legal team.
A Pattern of Retaliation
Martel Maxim, who authored the report accompanying Leaf’s letter, argues that Peters’ prosecution was meant as a warning to others who might challenge the integrity of electronic voting. The broader goal, Leaf suggests, is to silence dissent, chill oversight efforts, and cement a system where questions about election technology are treated as criminal acts.
“Instead of our government embracing the findings of Clerk Peters,” Leaf writes, “they vilified her.”
The Bigger Picture: Uncertifiable Elections and Deep State Overreach
Leaf’s letter warns that U.S. elections remain uncertifiable in jurisdictions that use electronic voting systems. He accuses federal agencies of deliberately avoiding transparency while propping up false narratives—using lawfare, media collusion, and political prosecutions to deter reform.
The case of Tina Peters, he argues, is the clearest example yet of the Deep State’s refusal to allow any accountability within the election system.
What Comes Next?
The implications of Leaf’s allegations are enormous:
-
Calls are growing for congressional investigations into the Peters prosecution and Dominion’s role.
-
Supporters are pushing for Tina Peters’ conviction to be overturned based on prosecutorial misconduct and perjured testimony.
-
President Trump’s team is reportedly reviewing Leaf’s evidence and considering action.
Conclusion: A Whistleblower Silenced, a Nation Awakens
Sheriff Dar Leaf’s exclusive warning pulls back the curtain on what many have suspected: Tina Peters was never the criminal—she was the target.
And if his documentation holds up, Dominion’s CEO and government collaborators may be the ones facing legal scrutiny next.
