U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he was giving a full pardon to Alice Marie Johnson, a Tennessee woman who had received a life sentence for a first-time drug offence and whose cause was taken up by Kim Kardashian West.
Johnson had already served 21 years of her sentence by the time Trump, after Kardashian West had pleaded Johnson’s case for release, commuted her sentence. She had been convicted on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine.
The 65-year-old is now a criminal justice reform advocate, who also spoke during the Republican National Convention on Thursday to talk about her release and praising Trump’s decision to sign a criminal justice reform bill, the First Step Act, into law.
Before signing the pardon, Trump said about Johnson, “we’re very proud of Alice and the job you’ve done and what you represent.” He then gave her the signed document, saying that “it’s a real honour.”
Donald John Trump was the 45th President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in Queens, a borough of New York City, and received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton School.
Kimberley Kardashian West (Nee Kardashian) is commonly known as Kim Kardashian West.
