Kim Kardashian West and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner have talked on the phone over the past several months about a possible presidential pardon for 62-year-old Alice Marie Johnson, who was given a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense, Mic reported and Axios has since confirmed.
The big picture: With Kushner at the front of the White House's prison reform efforts, he speaks with a lot of people on the issue. This is part of a much larger plan with Kushner hoping to draw national attention to the issue as bills are debated in both the House and Senate.
