Kim Kardashian lobbies Trump over inmate

Kim Kardashian West has met President Donald Trump to discuss a potential pardon for a 63-year-old great-grandmother who is serving life in prison.

Alice Marie Johnson has been behind bars for more than two decades for a first-time drug offence.

Mr Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has also been speaking with Mrs Kardashian West about the case for months.

Johnson's daughters confirmed today's meeting to BBC News.

President Trump later tweeted that they had a "great meeting".
