## Summary

Kim Kardashian said she went ahead with a 2018 White House meeting to seek clemency for Alice Marie Johnson, despite warnings that meeting Donald Trump could damage her career. The book says Kardashian saw Johnson’s plea for clemency in 2017 and decided the chance to help her mattered more than the reputational risks.

Kardashian contacted lawyer Shawn Holley and then Ivanka Trump, who connected her with Jared Kushner, who helped arrange the meeting. A week after speaking with Trump, Kardashian called Johnson to tell her she had been granted clemency after 22 years in prison. The book also describes Kardashian’s later advocacy for a man serving a life sentence for a non-violent crime, and Van Jones praised her command of the case and ability to make a persuasive case to the president.
