A quid ‘pro’ Kuo

Then-President Donald Trump asked Kim Kardashian to use her clout to get pro football players to visit the White House in exchange for supporting her clemency requests in the final days of his term, according to a forthcoming book.

The bizarre quid-pro-quo request is outlined by ABC News’ Jonathan Karl in his new tome, “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party,” excerpts of which were published by Axios Monday.

According to Karl, Kardashian, now 43, called the soon-to-be ex-president to push him to commute the sentences of several prisoners before he left office.

“[Trump] would grant the commutations, he told Kardashian, if she leveraged her celebrity connections to get football stars who were friends of hers to come visit him at the White House,” Karl wrote.

Kardashian attempted to deliver, “seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences,” he wrote. “All the players she approached declined. Trump had become too toxic. In the final two weeks of his presidency, nobody wanted to be anywhere near him.”

After the 2020 election, Trump began to sour on Kardashian, believing that she had backed his rival, Democrat Joe Biden.

Months after Trump left the White House, Karl writes, Kardashian sought to recruit him to back another clemency plea.

“Hell no, the former president told her. He wouldn’t do it. ‘You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?’ Trump told her,” per the book. “After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump had hung up on her.”

Kardashian has not publicly confirmed whom she backed in 2020, but she did post three blue hearts on social media alongside a picture of Biden and now-Vice President Kamala Harris after the race was called on Nov. 7, 2020.
