Kim reportedly called Trump’s senior advisor, Jared Kushner, who then spoke to his father-in-law Trump about Rocky’s situation in Sweden. Apparently, the president believes Rocky has been treated unfairly and wants to help.
This report seems to indicate that the U.S. State Department is now invested in freeing Rocky. TMZ also reports that Swedish officials are not cracking under the pressure. Despite the overwhelming support Rocky has received back home and online, sources suspect that Sweden’s government may delay their decision on Rocky’s case thus resulting in more jail time.
News of Kanye and Kim’s purported efforts to free Rocky surfaces one day after the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus, a group that includes Andre Carson and Hakeem Jeffries. Rep. Adriano Espaillat and more held a press conference where they urged Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to free Rocky from jail.
