Donald Trump is reportedly considering issuing a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson after a meeting with Kim Kardashian West.

Johnson, a great-grandmother from Memphis, Tennessee who became an ordained minister behind bars, has served more than 21 years in prison for a non-violent drug conspiracy offence.

She was sentenced to life without parole in 1996, despite it being her first offence.

Kardashian first read about her case in October 2017, and began tweeting about it, describing the sentence as "so unfair".

On May 30 she travelled to DC to meet the president and plead for clemency.
