President Trump and Kim Kardashian met to discuss prisoner’s plight

President Donald Trump met with reality TV star Kim Kardashian West at the White House Wednesday. Kardashian West met with Trump to advocate on behalf of a woman serving a life sentence for drug offenses.

Trump confirmed the meeting on Twitter, writing, “Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing.”

Kardashian West urged Trump to pardon Alice Marie Johnson, 63, who has spent more than two decades behind bars and is not eligible for parole.

Kardashian West is also expected to meet with Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, who is overseeing the administration’s push to overhaul the nation’s prison system.

Kardashian West’s husband, rapper Kanye West, sparked a social media maelstrom earlier this month with his support for Trump.

In an interview with Mic, Kardashian West said she’d been moved by Johnson’s story after seeing a video by the news outlet.

“I think that she really deserves a second chance at life,” Kardashian told Mic. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get her out.
