Kardashian has been seen as an influential advocate for prison reform ever since President Trump granted Alice Marie Johnson clemency last June, after Kardashian advocated on her behalf at the White House.

But they didn’t even hit the person, didn’t even have a weapon, and were serving life.”” data-reactid=”24″>Kardashian has been seen as an influential advocate for prison reform ever since President Trump granted Alice Marie Johnson clemency last June, after Kardashian advocated on her behalf at the White House.
