Trump commutes sentence at urging of Kim Kardashian West

President Trump has commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, who was serving life in prison for a non-violent drug offense. Kim Kardashian West went to the White House last week to urge Mr. Trump to intercede. AP White House correspondent Zeke Miller joins CBSN with more.

Obviously Ms Johnson, did not even deserve the 20 years she served. Nice to see that she was pardoned.

We definitely need to do something in the way of prison reform. There are many people serving life sentences for minor crimes.

And for all those people claiming trump is a racist. This is proof he isnt. This wasnt a favor for a friend. It was the right thing to do and he did it.

[corrynthiaiam]

He did a favor for a friend: that's cool; but it's thousands of more.

I wonder what she will do for others (prisoners) who are in the same predicament? or if she's satisfied with the media attention on her aside from being naked, and the bus stop's here....

Thank "You" President Trump for giving her freedom and fine happinesses with her family. :)

[RandomNE]

There's thousands that deserve this same thing. What about them?

[GuestYouTubeUser]

He should pardon all student debts too.

President trump should pardon all non violent first time offenders with rules to follow. Release all non violent first time offenders and if you do get pardoned and you do get in trouble again you go back and do your prison sentence.

Much respect to Kim Kardashian, you did an amazing in speaking with the president and having this lady go free after all those years in just days. God moved through you on that day. Wonderful. You walked in like a boss with the authority of God moving. Job well done. Jesus Loves you.

All non-violent first-time offenders should get a second chance in life and I think president Trump will do something in that matter I believe it very much he will do something with first-time nonviolent offenders that he will let them go he will pardon them

Thanks Kim Kardashian and President Trump🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[jamesjefferson]

It a way of him pardoning everything people he doesn't like over again, it's as simple and childish as Trump is. It's not about anything else he getting back at people and could care less about the prisoner or the crime.

[rosesmith]

Glad for Ms. Johnson. But now the Kardashians are making Commuting recommendations? The worlds gone crazy. OK, get together fellow Americans, who do you recommend next?

[ruthie]

I'm normally do not agree with President Trump, however, I believe in second chances to those who want change in their lives. I'm glad you did this Trump.

[jonathanmosher]

I like that he pardoned her, but it took another fake celebrity to do it. He cares more about famous people and friends than people who are serving life terms in Texas for marijuana. Why her and not the obvious ones who need pardoning?

[eecak]

Must have been a good session...i mean meeting ahem.

[gustavoc]

Zeke Miller... That That That That's All Folks!!!

[KB-kwni]

How come Kim didn't want to get a white woman out of jail?
