Reality TV star Kim Kardashian‘s publicized and controversial decision to meet President Donald Trump last week has paid off. Days after the two celebs discussed prison reform, Trump has granted clemency to 63-year-old great grandmother Alice Johnson.
Kim K went to Twitter Wednesday (June 6) to break the news.

So grateful to @realDonaldTrump, Jared Kushner & to 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.

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.

The phone call I just had with Alice will forever be one of my best memories. Telling her for the first time and hearing her screams while crying together is a moment I will never forget.

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.

Last week, buzz developed about Kim going to meet up with the Trumpster.
Although Kim was a Hillary Clinton supporter, we’re told Trump’s on board with helping since Ivanka supports the cause too … and Kanye’s recent public support of him certainly didn’t hurt. Our sources say Kim will make the trip without KUWTK cameras or her sisters. The 62-year-old great-grandma’s case became national news last year when Kim tweeted about it — she was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges … her first offense.
