Reality TV queen Kim Kardashian West is expected to meet with President Trump at the White House on Wednesday as she seeks the pardon of a 62-year-old woman who is serving a life sentence without parole for a nonviolent drug offense.
Kardashian West spoke with Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner over the past several months about a potential presidential pardon for Alice Marie Johnson, as Kushner pushes for prison reform. Johnson has been in a federal prison since October 1996 for her role in a drug trafficking case.
Vanity Fair reported Wednesday that Kardashian West and her attorney will meet with Kushner at the White House at 4 p.m. before her meeting with Trump, which could take place in the Oval Office.
Kardashian West is not bringing the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” camera crew or her famous sisters with her. Her husband, Kanye West, who caused a stir with his pro-Trump tweets, will also not attend, the magazine reported.
The reality TV star and businesswoman discovered Johnson’s story on Twitter earlier this year and reached out to Ivanka Trump. The president’s daughter connected Kardashian West with Kushner.
Kushner West and Ivanka Trump will host Kardashian for dinner at their Washington home after her meeting with the president, the report said.
