President Trump has signed a pardon for Alice Johnson, currently serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense, reports Axios.
The pardon follows a visit to the White House by Kim Kardashian who championed the pardon of Johnson.
Trump may become known as the Communication and Pardon President---not a bad thing. There are other pardons and commutations he is apparently considering.

From CNN:
The White House has prepared the paperwork to pardon at least 30 more people.
UPDATE 2
From Avios:
Clarification: the official term for what Trump signed is a commutation. Upshot is she leaves prison. https://t.co/THBFmJym85— Jonathan Swan (@jonathanvswan) June 6, 2018
Pardon by photo op, what a lovely rule of law you guys have. Still, good for her, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteGood deal, so Pamela Anderson should be able to drop by and see the Great Orange and get a pardon for Assange?
