Kim Kardashian-West is using her influence to try and free a 62-year-old grandmother from prison.
The reality TV star has teamed up with US president Donald Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner to free Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence since 1996.
Johnson was sentenced following her conviction for a first time, non-violent drug offence.
The previous Obama administration has denied her appeal for clemency, however, Kardashian-West’s lawyers says she hopes to get Trump to issue a pardon for Johnson.
Kardashian-West first became aware of Johnson’s story after watching a short video about the case online.
Johnson was convicted of being a drug-messenger.
