President Trump and Kim Kardashian West met today to discuss prison reform
Kardashian West was expected to meet with officials, including senior adviser Jared Kushner, at the White House, a person familiar with the plans said.
The entrepreneur and reality television star has advocated for a pardon for a low-level drug offender named Alice Marie Johnson, who has served more than 20 years in prison.
It's an issue that both Kardashian West, who learned about Johnson watching a video from Mic, and Kushner, whose father served time in a federal prison, have taken up.
Earlier this month, the White House-backed First Step Act, which would expand programs for prisoners and allow for more home confinement, was approved by the House Judiciary Committee.
