Kardashian West met with the president in the Oval Office in 2018 to discuss prison reform and sentencing, pressing the case for Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who was serving a life sentence on nonviolent drug and money laundering charges. Trump granted Johnson clemency shortly after the meeting.
“Today Alice, Crystal, Judith, Tynice and I, along with the @cut_50 team will be at the White House bringing light to these women and discuss more change that our justice system desperately needs!” Kardashian West tweeted Wednesday.
