Kim Kardashian West is back at the White House
Kim Kardashian West seems to be the White House's go-to criminal justice reform liaison.
On Thursday, the reality superstar headed back to the White House to give remarks at an announcement regarding hiring opportunities for people released from prison. It's seemingly the next step in Kardashian West's push to put criminal justice reform on President Trump's agenda, and comes after a bipartisan prison reform bill became law back in December.
Kardashian West first came to the White House about a year ago to advocate for a presidential pardon for Alice Marie Johnson. Johnson had been in prison for more than 20 years on a nonviolent drug offense, and Trump later commuted her sentence. The whole ordeal has since inspired Kardashian West to start studying to take the bar exam in 2022.
