Trump Kar-dashes off new clemency

THE KIM summit was a success.

President Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson on Wednesday, days after Kim Kardashian traveled to the White House to advocate for the Tennessee grandmother’s release.

Johnson (photo) was 42 years old when she was first jailed on charges related to drug possession and money laundering in the 1990s, according to court documents. She was caught in a cocaine trafficking plot run out of her Memphis apartment, where she stashed her illicit earnings and passed along messages to her coconspirators — who authorities believe netted millions in the illegal scheme.

“Ms. Johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner over the past two decades,” the White House said in its official statement. “Despite receiving a life sentence, Alice worked hard to rehabilitate herself in prison and act as a mentor to fellow inmates.”

Kardashian met with Trump and Jared Kushner in the Oval Office last week in a bid to convince them to release Johnson from the federal prison in Aliceville, Ala.

“BEST NEWS EVER!” the beauty mogul tweeted Wednesday, thanking the President, his son-in-law “everyone who has showed compassion & contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson.”

“Her commutation is inspirational & gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance,” she wrote. “I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition.”

Kardashian got to break the news to Johnson over the phone.

“Telling her for the first time and hearing her screams while crying together is a moment I will never forget,” the social media sensation tweeted, saying it “will forever be one of my best memories.”

The reality television star initially became involved in Johnson’s case in October after watching a Mic Opinion video of Johnson sharing her story from behind bars. She tweeted the clip and then enlisted the help of her personal attorney Shawn Chapman Holley for legal support.

The move came after a report in The Washington Post that Trump has become “obsessed” with his pardon powers.
