Alice Johnson Granted Clemency By Trump After Kim K Meeting

Wow. This is going to elicit some very complex emotions out of people. Your Twitter TL might be in shambles over this for a few hours.

According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian’s and Shawn Holley’s lofty mission to get prison lifer Alice Marie Johnson released from the bing is successful.

BEST NEWS EVER!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 https://t.co/JUbpbE1Bk0

Trump has signed off on Johnson’s clemency and she will be promptly released from her federal confines and taken directly to her family. She has been in prison since 1997.

Says lawyer Shawn Holley:

“I just got off the most wonderful, emotional and amazing phone call with Alice, Kim and Alice’s lawyers … It was a moment I will never forget.”

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.

There will be people who still see this as an attention-sloring opp for the limelight-seeking Kardashian klan, but the other side of the coin is that she did, in whatever way is available to her, help free a Black woman who was railroaded by the system.

Cyntoia Brown had a clemency hearing a few weeks ago. She was not owed a clemency hearing. She got one in part because Kim Kardashian hooked her up with Shawn Holley. The same Shawn Holley who is w/her at the White House today.
