New Delhi, Delhi, India
Kim Kardashian West had a starry day on Wednesday as she met with US President Donald Trump and other officials, including senior adviser Jared Kushner at the White House to discuss prison reform.
Posting a photo with the TV reality star, Trump tweeted: "Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing.”
Kardashian kept it cool in a black suit paired with bright yellow stilettos as she was spotted leaving the White House with a small entourage an hour after she arrived at the White House.
Announcing the visit earlier, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders in a White House press briefing Wednesday afternoon said: "She is expected to be here at the White House. I can confirm she'll be here. We'll keep you posted on any meetings that take place and what those look like."
The reality star has been advocating for the pardon of a low-level drug offender named Alice Marie Johnson who has served more than 20 years in prison. On Wednesday before the meeting, Kardashian tweeted: "Happy Birthday Alice Marie Johnson. Today is for you," adding the prayer hands emoji.
After the meeting, she said in a statement: "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."
Even though Kim Kardashian has been a supporter of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton when she was contesting in 2016 presidential election, her husband, singer Kanye West has signalled staunch support for Trump. Last month, he released a photo wearing "Make America Great Again" cap. He followed it up with releasing a song defending his praise of the President.
