President Donald Trump on June 6 commuted the life sentence of a woman who was imprisoned for drug conspiracy. TV personality Kim Kardashian West met with Trump last week to ask for clemency.

Trump commuted the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, 63, after taking account of her behavior as well as the 22 years she’s already spent behind bars.
