Trump's Super Bowl Ad
The Trump team told the story of Alice Johnson, a 63-year old grandmother who was given a life sentence for non-violent drug offenses in the 1990’s.
Kim Kardashian, who was crucial in pushing for clemency in Johnson’s case and criminal justice reform in general, was able to catch President Trump’s attention and secure clemency for Johnson.
The White House statement on Johnson’s release, according to Business Insider.
“Ms. Johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner over the past two decades. Despite receiving a life sentence, Alice worked hard to rehabilitate herself in prison, and act as a mentor to her fellow inmates,” the White House statement said. “While this Administration will always be very tough on crime, it believes that those who have paid their debt to society and worked hard to better themselves while in prison deserve a second chance."
