Trump commutes grandmother’s life sentence for drug trafficking after lobbying by Kim Kardashian West. President Trump granted clemency Wednesday to a Tennessee grandmother serving a life sentence for cocaine trafficking — after hearing a plea from reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Alice Marie Johnson, who celebrated her 63rd birthday last week, had her life sentence commuted after 22 years. She will be eligible to walk out of the federal prison in Aliceville, Ala. Ref.
