At the request of Kim Kardashian, President Donald Trump pardoned 63 year old Alice Marie Johnson and is also reportedly gearing up to pardon a number of rappers.
According to June 13th report from Vanity Fair, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was given a list of more people to pardon by Kim Kardashian, which also includes hip-hop artists. “They’re going to be pardoning a lot of people, pardons that even Obama wouldn’t do,” a source told Vanity Fair.
It hasn’t been revealed which names are on this list but it’s believed that Kushner is trying to push the pardons as a way to repair his image with liberals and is “aggressively lobbying” Trump to pardon more people.
Kardashian worked closely with Kushner, and Trump to get Alice Johnson’s sentence pardoned, even met with Trump at The White House. Johnson was sentenced to life in prison on a drug charge in 1996. After Johnson’s pardon, Kim thanked Trump and Kushner on Twitter, writing, “So grateful to @realDonaldTrump, Jared Kushner & to everyone who has showed compassion & contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson.”
I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.

We are optimistic about Ms. Johnson’s future and hopeful that she —and so many like her—will get a second chance at life.
