KIM Kardashian has met with the President Donald Trump at the White House to make a high-profile case for prison reform and advocate on behalf of a grandmother who’s serving a life sentence for drug offences.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star arrived at the White House on Wednesday afternoon local time to meet with Jared Kushner — President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser — who also oversees the administration’s push to overhaul the nation’s prison system.
It’s understood she reached out to Ivanka Trump, who put her in contact with her husband.
In a meeting which reportedly lasted “less than an hour”, the reality TV star urged President Donald Trump to pardon Alice Marie Johnson, 63, who has spent more than two decades behind bars and is not eligible for parole.
According to US media reports, Johnson’s conviction stemmed from her role in a multimillion-dollar drug ring that dealt thousands of kilograms of cocaine.
The New York Daily News also mocked the meeting with a fairly brutal front page and headline which read: “The Only Kim He Could Get.”
