Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West thanked President Trump for meeting with her to discuss prison reform on Wednesday.
“I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon,” she tweeted.
Kardashian West continued to express her optimism that Trump will consider her request that he grant clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, a 62-year-old woman serving a life sentence without parole for a nonviolent drug offense.
