Kim Kardashian visits Donald Trump's White House for prison reform meeting
WASHINGTON – Celebrity sighting at the White House: Kim Kardashian arrived Wednesday for a meeting on prison reform.
The reality television star is also hoping to speak with President Donald Trump about a pardon or clemency for a Tennessee man serving a lifetime prison sentence on drug charges.
“Today at the White House, members of the administration are hosting a listening session about the clemency process,” Trump spokesman Hogan Gidley said. “The discussion is mainly focused on ways to improve that process to ensure deserving cases receive a fair review.”
Kardashian has attended at least one other prison reform meeting at the Trump White House. She spoke last year with senior adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, who also hosted Wednesday’s session.
The White House guest list included Kim Kardashian West;Â she is married to rap singer and record producer Kanye West.
Earlier this year, Kardashian went to the White House to lobby for a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson; Trump eventually granted clemency to Johnson, a 63-year-old woman who spent more than two decades in prison on drug charges.
