Kim Kardashian Sends A Strong Message To President Joe Biden On Clemency

Kim Kardashian is not just a reality TV star. She’s also on a mission to reshape criminal justice.

After successfully fighting for Alice Marie Johnson’s release from a life sentence in 2018, Kim’s passion for reform ignited, and she’s been working hard to make her legal dreams come true.

The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star has advocated for justice reform and has been actively involved in high-profile cases for prison reform and clemency. She’s also teamed up with the Innocence Project to fight for the wrongfully convicted.

On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., Kim Kardashian visited the Department of Justice to meet with United States pardon attorney Elizabeth Oyer.

The star took to Instagram on Monday to share a series of photos from her recent trip to Washington, D.C. — highlighting her visit to the Department of Justice.

In the snaps, Kim gave fans a peek behind the scenes of her high-profile advocacy work. "Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., to meet with our United States pardon attorney, Elizabeth Oyer," Kim shared.

"We talked about some of the many men and women who have taken accountability for their crimes, worked hard to turn their lives around, and are ready to come home from our prisons and be with their families," she added, telling her fans that she will "be highlighting some of their important cases on [her] Stories."

While pursuing her law career, Kim has been front and center in the fight for criminal justice reform. She’s not only investigating cases involving prison reform and clemency but also using her massive platform to spotlight systemic issues within the justice system.

In her recent Instagram post, Kim called on President Joe Biden to "take the opportunity to make clemency a significant part of his legacy before he leaves office."

Kim has also teamed up with the Innocence Project, which advocates for wrongfully convicted individuals and promotes their exoneration.

Last month, President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the Presidential race against Donald Trump.

“My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.”

Kamala Harris has since taken his place as the Democratic nominee.

The SKIMS founder revealed that she took the "Baby Bar" exam multiple times and publicly shared her ups and downs. Her perseverance paid off, and in December 2021, she announced that she had passed the exam on her fourth attempt.

"Know this wasn't easy or handed to me… This was just the first one but with the harder pass rate," she wrote at the time. "I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route, but it was my only option, and it feels so, so, sooooo good."

Since then, Kim has kept a low profile regarding her legal journey, leading many to speculate that she may have given up on her dreams of following in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps.

"She really struggled with the study, hated having to do the outlines and essays required to even be at a competent level, and it was going to take her a few years of study to pass the exams and a few likely fails," a source told the US Sun earlier this year. "She did some midterm exams last year, and they finished her off."

However, in June, she shared a photo of her notes on her Instagram Stories, saying, "I can't deal with all these f-cking hearsay exceptions!" She labeled this her “least favorite subject in law school," per The Mercury.
