Kim Kardashian talks about her meeting with President Trump, says “The President seems to have a passion” for prison reform..
Kim Kardashian West met with President Trump at the White House Wednesday about sentencing and prison reform, Mr. Trump confirmed in a tweet Wednesday night. The White House had offered few details about her visit.
“Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing,” Mr. Trump tweeted.
Kim was advocating for a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson, a great-grandmother serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense. Johnson has spent more than two decades in prison. Vanity Fair first reported the Kardashian sister would be visiting Washington and meeting with White House officials.
A member of Johnson’s legal team told CBS News White House reporter Jacqueline Alemany the meeting between the president and Kardashian was very “positive,” but the president did not make a decision during the meeting about whether or not he will move forward with a pardon.
