Kim Kardashian Moves On From Trump, Meets Kamala Harris At White House For Criminal Justice Reform
Kim Kardashian is back in action at the White House four years after her last meeting with former President Donald Trump as she continues to push for criminal justice reform.
On Thursday, Kardashian met with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the pardons granted by President Joe Biden on 11 people and commuted sentences on five more who were previously convicted of non-violent drug offenses.
The 43-year-old reality star-business mogul-actress was joined by some of those pardoned on Wednesday, including four who had started their own businesses or have established non-profits after being released, CNN reported.
Jesse Mosley, one of the participants of the roundtable discussion, said he felt "overwhelming gratitude" for being pardoned.
"Now I'm sitting at the table with the VP and Kim K.," he added.
This isn't the first White House trip for Kardashian who sat down with Trump in 2018 to also discuss her advocacy and the commuted sentence of Alice Marie Johnson.
In 2019, she delivered remarks at the White House on her effort to help former inmates land jobs after incarceration. She again worked with the Trump administration on prison reform in 2020.
Her recent trip to the White House also served as a testament to her commitment to the initiative, regardless of who's in office.
"I'm so honored to be here to continue this fight and to learn more every day, every visit, every administration. I'm just here to help and to spread the word," the celebrity mom of four said, per TMZ.
In an Instagram story, Kardashian also thanks VP Harris for welcoming her.
"Can't wait to share all about the second chances event today at the White House. Thank you Madame Vice President," Kardashian wrote.
Harris also thanked Kardashian, who has 363 million followers on her Instagram, for using her platform, " in a way that has really lifted up the importance of talking about and being dedicated to second chances."
