Reality television celebrity Kim Kardashian West met with President Donald Trump in the White House on Wednesday, May 30. She asked Trump to pardon a woman currently serving life in prison for drug conspiracy and money laundering.

“I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense,” Kardashian West said on Twitter the day after. “We are optimistic about Ms. Johnson’s future and hopeful that she—and so many like her—will get a second chance at life.”
