i first corresponded with alice five years ago. i learned about her case car wrote about her and report we published profiling the cases of people serving life without parole for nonviolent offenses. she was represented by other counsel in a clumsy petition before president obama, which was denied in the final days of the presidency with no explanation -- as to agree the case. i was flabbergasted she was denied. to me she seemed like the perfect candidate. she served one third of her life in prison. the warden even supported her, the application. i took on her case more recently and became outom and kim kardashian expressed interest in getting involved. clumsy is really the only way she is going to get out and in this case, maybe it could work under this president. although it seemed like a long shot at the beginning. amy: kim kardashian took her case to the president last week. >> she did. she met with donald trump at the white house and made her pitch. amy: if you're lucky enough to have a celebrity on "celebrity apprentice" are

alice johnson, of course, is a force of nature. now that she's home, she's going to continue the fight. some positive things have started to happen. some domino's falling. you have to give kim kardashian some credit. when you have that kind of a platform, she's got 120 million enstra gram followers. she's got more instagram followers than some countries got people. if she decides to make this a part of her life now, fighting for positive causes, i think you have to give her the credit. >> as you were saying that, it's interesting you said she's been tough on the president. i mean, you know, just because you're tough on someone, it doesn't mean you don't want them to succeed. i'm wondering if there's a bl s lesson in here for the president of the united states to work with people who don't agree with him to do good things. it seems like there should be some sort of lesson for him here. >> i think there should be and there could be. for whatever reason, this issue of criminal justice reform, prison reform, and partds seems to have be

alice johnson. a great grandmother who was serving a life sentence for a first time drug offense. life sentence, first time offense. now, kim appealed personally to president trump and he commuted her sentence, to hats off to donald trump for doing that. now after 21 years, miss johnson is finally free. and such an important story about redenlgs, embracing second chances. both for alice johnson and kim kardashian west. to be fair, miss johnson did mess up pretty bad in '93. she lost herb job, her husband through a divorce then her son in a motorcycle accident. she fell in with the wrong crowd. got involved with drugs. no excuses, just facts. but behind bars, she was a model of good behavior. never got in trouble. which is almost impossible in prison not to get in any trouble in prison. took places, became an or daned minister, hospice worker, personal trainer, everything. that's called evolving. making the best of a bad situation and there are many more people behind bars. speaking about ef collusio

alice johnson is a mother, grandmother and great grandmother.er supporters say her life sentence was too harsh for a first-time, nonviolent offense. we spoke to her family this morning who told us last night they all gathered at her sister's house for a big meal and they hardly slept a wink because of their excitement. alice johnson waited 21 years to embrace her family as a free woman. >> i'm feeling no handcuffs, nothing on me. i'm free to hug my family. i'm free to live life. >> reporter: the 63-year-old great grandmother was serving a life sentence without parole for her role in a memphis-based cocaine trafficking ring. >> i've been resurrected from the dead literally. >> reporter: johnson was convicted in 1996 of eight criminal charges including drug conspiracy and money laundering. >> i made one of the worst decision ises of my life to make some quick money. >> reporter: after watching this video from the news website mike, kim kardashian west became involved in johnson's case. she tweeted in october that johnson's sentence was unfair. >>

we spoke about alice.where i found her, why i believe in her, how people deserve second chances, and immediately -- i mean, the president had compassion for her right away. he felt that it was the right thing to do. >> reporter: one week after the oval office meeting, alice was released from prison. >> thank you, jesus! >> reporter: it was kim kardashian west who called alice with the good news. >> i believe she said, you can go home. you can go home. >> reporter: you can go home? >> you can go home now. are you ready to go home? when she said that, i went into full fledged pentecostal holy dance. i started screaming and jumping. people were listening. i'm telling you, i was dancing. i was dancing. i was jumping. i was screaming. i was doing everything. >> reporter: kim, what did it sound like from your end? >> i just -- well, at first, i thought she knew. the news was starting to break, and we had to get her on the phone. i said, wait, you don't know? she was like, know what? i was like, you're going home

alice marie johnson is now the free woman.e after kim kardashian fought for her release but her reunion with family and friends facing opposition from democrats. jackie ibanez joins us with the latest. >> reporter: the modus alice marie johnson will cherish forever. the 72-year-old great-grandmother running into the arms of her family and friends after donald trump grants her clemency. >> i think president donald john trump. thank you. for giving me another chance at life. >> reporter: johnson served 21 years of her life sentence in alabama prison for taking part in a drug ring. the white house issuing a statement saying ms. johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner for the past two decades. despite receiving a life sentence she worked hard to revalidate herself in prison and act as a mentor to her fellow inmates. kim kardashian who met with donald trump last week was lobbying for her release expressing her gratitude on twitter, the phone call i just had with alice will forever be

alice marie johnson, drug charges, not a political figure.esting, you talked about the resistance from john kelly and how it seemed tone deaf politically. i don't know if compromise is the right word, but is this a compromise on the president's pard that it's commutation but not a pardon? it's a get out of jail card but not wipe it away. >> it looks this way, but i'm hoet loathe to speculate. i think the specifics of this case match what the pardoning and commutation power is 130 supposed to be. it's not supposed to be devoid of process. i also think that the thing i hear from white house officials about sort of this pardon issue generally is the message the president is sending. when we reported the president's former lawyer john dowd discussed this with manafort's lawyer about the possibility of a pardon down the road. so it's not a surprise, but it does suggest that basically laws don't matter. if there's a constant get out of jail free card, that is where you start to see an issue. i think there would be less concern on the alice johnson

like alice, yesterday. i thought kim kardashian was great because she brought alice to my attention. alice was so great. and the way she left that jail and the tears and the love that she has with her family, i mean, to me that was better than any celebrity that i can pardon. so we're looking at it but we are looking at literally thousands of names of people that have come to our attention that have been treated unfairly or where their sentences too long. eporter: both lebron james and steph curry said if they win they are not coming to the white house. president trump: i didn't invite them. i didn't invite lebron james, and i didn't invite steph curry. we arent going to invite either team, but we have other teams that are coming. you know, if you look, we had alabama, national champion, we had clemson, national champion. we had the new england patriots. we have the pittsburgh penguins last year. i think we'll have the caps. i mean, we'll see. you know my attitude, if they want to be here, it's the greatest

and then she then got a chance to call alice johnson in prison and let her know that she was going to be coming home. and she also responded to a lot of the criticisms and skepticism, no good deed goes unpunished, but she had some good stuff to say for herself. the meeting with president trump, now, that's a whole other level. >> yeah. >> how did that happen? >> well, when i initially called ivanka, i said, i would love a meeting with your dad. i said that from the start. and then that took about six or seven months to get. and so once we got our -- you know, the file really strong, we were able to plan a meeting. and there was the prison reform summit that i know you were at. so i was going to go to that, and my meeting was scheduled the day before that. and then things were changing, schedules were changing, and so they had rescheduled the meeting and it happened to be on alice's birthday, and that was the date they picked. and so i was just, this is all aligned, the stars are all in our favor today. i just feel that this is the right day to do it. and -- >> so you go in? >> we go i

alice and her daughter join me now. alice, what does it feel like?re not even 24 hours away from you running out of prison. something you didn't think you were going to see for many more years, if at all. how do you feel? >> i'm so happy. it's amazing what i feel right now. my heart is overflowing with love and gratitude for everyone who made this possible, and for my family who made it possible by standing by my side. >> tell me about this. i don't think some time ago you and your family thought this was going to be possible. >> i mean, a few denials, like three clemency denials. my mom never gave up. she was like keep the faith. so long we had faith that -- as long as we had faith, and we did. >> alice, you're going to have another life now. you're going to put some of the work -- you described your life in prison as having turned you around completely. what does your new life look like? >> my new life looks like working again. just getting up and going to work every day. my life looks like spending time with my children and my grandchildren and my

daughter of alice marie johnson. word down a short time ago her sentence was commuted by president trump. i imagine you've got a few things you need to get to. >> i'm sorry. i have -- >> no. you do not have to apologize to me of all people. congratulations, and our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family. okay? keep us posted. we'd love to be invited to that big celebration when it happens. >> i'd love to invite you, too. and thank you so much. >> sure, sure. let's go to the white house. nbc's kelly o'donnell is standing by and so is msnbc legal analyst danny savalas, josh barros, business insider, also msnbc contributor. and msnbc justice and security analyst matt miller also with me. matt is former chief spokesman for the department of justice under president obama. kelly o., looks like you're reading something. i'm come to you in 20 seconds. quickly, danny, commutation and pardon. the difference? >> a pardon deletes the actual conviction where a commutation just reduces the sentence or also gets rid

i thought alice yesterday was beautiful. i thought jack johnson which was recommended by sylvester stallone and some great boxers, i thought jack johnson was a great one. i'm thinking about somebody that you all know very well. and he went through a lot. and he wasn't very popular then. >> is it oj? >> and he wasn't very popular -- no i'm not thinking about oj. only you could say oj. but he was -- look, he was not very popular then. his memory is very popular now. i'm thinking about muhammad ali. i'm thinking about that very seriously. and some others. and some folks that have sentences that aren't there, but i'm thinking about muhammad ali. >> what will it take -- >> in fact we're doing right now recommendations -- frankly we're doing recommendations on muhammad ali. >> [inaudible]. >> what? >> [inaudible]. >> no, i'm not above the law. i never want anybody to be above the law. but the pardons are a very positive thing for a president. i think you see the way i'm using them. yes, i do have an absolute right to pardon myself

alice is ready to start her life. a job ained up -- >> yeah, she's ready to go. >>> still ahead, another "today" exclusive. five of the women that have come forward to accuse a campus doctor of sexual misconduct are opening up to natalie. >>> and then the royal privilege extended to meghan markle by the queen that even prince harry has yet to enjoy. >> a then chris pratt and bryce dallas coward. >>> and then busting out the old happy dance? yeah, we have al's special series ahead of father's day. >> that's right after these messages. 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. all you have to do is pay with this... at hotels.com/venture. 10 miles per dollar? that is incredible. brrrrr. i have the chills. because you're so excited? because ice is cold. and because of all those miles. obviously. what's in your wallet? i'm not sure. what's in your wallet? even if you don't buy one from us. because maybe you're already buying a car somewhere else. or maybe you want to shop around. or, maybe you don't want

the fact is had it not been for mike and you all featuring alice johnson's story, alice johnson may be serving the rest of her life behind bars. >> it's been incredible. we told this story in october of last year, it's a heartbreaking story of aoman in prison for 21 and a half years for a first time, non-violent drug offense. we didn't expect what happened next. it just caught fire and kim kardashian-west shared the story on social media. she got very moved to act and very involved behind the scenes since november and it been months now to get this woman released and it's been incredible. >> let me play this quick clip from kim after she learned about alice. >>i lost my job, i struggled financially, i couldn't find a job to take care of my family. failure. i went into a complete panic and out of desperation, i made one of the worst decisions of my life to make quick money. i became involved in a drug conspiracy. >> i just really strongly believe that she is someone that has completely rehabilitated herself and will continue to do so outside of prison. you know, she's done her time. i m

i'm told a handful of those are similar to alice johnson's case. and those are currently being reviewed right now by the white house counsel's office. clearly this is something the president is increasingly turning to and today alice johnson'sson sentence has been commuted. >> jeremy diamond, thank you very much. let's expand this conversation wi now. cnn legal analyst michael zeldon and dana bash. i want a big picture and then i want to go specifically to alice johnson's case. we don't know about the dozens of others that the president is considering, but between the one last we, considering a few others and now this today. what's hedoing? >> h using the power that he believes he has and most people who are legal experts, constitutional experts believe he has pretty much unfett po to pardon and commute sentenc sentences. last week and several of the other pardons he had given were blatantly transapparently political. he was doing it to send signals to pli caolitical foes. this is different. in this case, the president aligns with se of the most li

there's over 3,000 people in the same exact situation as alice and it's not just that it so happened be that alice was on my screen at that moment, at that time, when i was on, but it doesn't mean that we're going to stop here. >> coming up next, cnn's van jones tells me what kim kardashian had to say about the release of alice johnson and the possibility of running for office one day. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." but as it grew bigger and bigger, it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. what's in your wallet? sometimes a day at the ballpark is more than just a day at the ballpark.

van, you know alice marie jones, and you've been anned a sl advo her. what do you think about this action by the president? >> i think it's extraordinary, people going to prison with crazy long sentences. this is a particular case where a number of things lined up. ms. alice is a grandmother, she made horrible mistakes, but she literally had no opportunity for parole ever. she was going to die in prison for a nonviolent drug offense, first time. you also had britney barnes, who is a young black attorney, a young female african-american, quit her corporate law job to go full-time trying to get in woman out and other people like her out of prison. you had a viral video that went nuts showing this video behind bars, and then kim kardashian stepped in. buthe final piece was jared kushner. i'm a strong democrat, i disagree with jared kushner on 99 things, but on one thing, jared kushner has been a shockingly effective advocate inside the white house. he went toe to toe with kelly and others inside that building and said, this is an injustice and it has to be

alice marie johnson was released after 21 years in prison. sentenced for life for a first time nonviolent federal drug conviction. in the sixth act, president trump commuted her sentence. it came after kim kardashian west lobbied her release. her sentencing or the real joy that she and her family are obviously now feeling. so in a moment, we will talk about that about how this president is exercising his power to grant pardons. my conversation with alice marie johnson and her daughter. how do you feel? you just got out. >> it is so overwhelming. >> when did you first learn and how did you learn that you were going to get out? >> my case manager called me back. when the attorneys came on, i heard kim kardashian west. and kim gave me the news and i started screaming. it was just too much. >> did you know she was going to go to the white house and plead your case? >> yes, i knew she was going on my birthday. >> true tessa, this must be an incredible day for you. did you ever think after 21 years you would see your mom released from prison. >> i

alice, did you wonder like why did kim kardashian pick me?ple did sll she go and work on my case? >> i tell you it's a miracle. only god could touch kim kardashian like. that we have connected. she shedd said she felt something when she heard my story. i'm so thankful for it. i can't explain it. it's a miracle. >> we want to thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> speaking of the president a new nbc news "wall street journal" poll out this morning, we have good news for him about how voters are feeling. there is news ahead of the elections. let's start with the president. there is a trends going on the last time you polled, i think he was at a 39% approval rating. it's ticked up. tell me about. that. >> it's ticked up for a couple reasons. i think the biggest is the perception of the economy and the credit that voters in this survey give the president's policies for the improved economy. that's driving it more than anything. what is also interesting. the president has a narrow trading range. he's never really broken 45 in our pom. he never

alice johnson was involved in a cocaine conspiracy.ween drug dealers, both were distributing the drugs and those supplying them. it is called a telephone renewal, and she received a life sentence for her part in that conspiracy. herfamily a life sentence for her part in that conspiracy. her family and friends have deemed campaigning for some time, it says that for the harsh sentence, she was a first—time offender, someone who had not been involved in a violent offence. it got the backing of kim kardashian in west, the reality tv star, who found herself able to get into the white house and the oval office to take the case directly to donald trump himself. it means kim kardashian in west simply became interested in this story after watching a video on social media. is it does seem like her influence has had an effect on the president, and within days of that meeting, he has looked at the sentence. very publicly today, he did not get the backing of another senior republican. there is a lot of people talking about the use of pardons and th

he's talking about more pardons and commuting alice johnson.hat do you think the goal is of the president? what is he looking to achieve as the big picture? >> mike: i think two things, one, he's looking at each case individually which is exactly with the executive bncd do they should never s blank it. i'm issuing a commutations. you have to look at every case individually. but he's also pointing out some of the total failures in our criminal justice system and sentencing guidelines. it was very popular a few years ago, if you said that at a rotary meeting, you got a lot of apse. but it was one of the dumbest moves we've ever made and it sts not only an enormous amount of money but it ruined of the lives of people who had no business being in prison for life, for let's say t or $400 thefts. it's disproportionate to the crime committed. >> sandra: i want to get this in here, as we continue to learn up more about who alice marie johnson is. 53 years old and we are being told that she offic has been released from the federal ison. she w serving le

i thought alice's case was a slam dunk. i reviewed thousands of cases.ce's was among the strongest. she had a spotless record. even the warden supported her petition. she had strong support of her family. a job lined up for release. i don't think there would have been blowback. we don't know why obama denied it. but obviously kim kardashian saw that alice did deserve a second chance. i'm glad she'll continue to be reunited with her family. >> do we anticipate that kim kardashian's going to start doing some more work with the aclu? is this going to become a thing? >> i hope that kim and others will use their platform. criminal justice and mass incarceration is a critical issue in this country. i hope that everyone uses their voice to push for criminal justice reform. >> there are a lot of alice johnsons out there who do not have celebrity lobbyists or even the aclu backing them. thank you so much. thanks for coming by. >>> we've got some new information about the culture war. the ongoing culture war in this country and the legal fight between president tr

and alice mentioned utah and talked about romney's tragedy and how he ran.t are your big upsets for tonight? >> look, this is really -- it is an eye opener for democrats. we've been talking about that since you started your program. but i don't think it is really sunk in for a lot of these democrats in leadership and across the country how seismic of a moment this is for somebody as high in leadership as joe crowley is. as somebody who is -- was clearly reaching for the top job as potentially to be house speak speaker if democrats took over, to be toppled like this. it really is reminiscent of what we saw in 2010 when the tea party came in, and really what we saw of a slow awakening of these establishment republicans we're going to start see among establishment democrats. there's so many factors that went into joe crowley's surprise defeat. in some ways it was a perfect storm of the fact his opponent is woman and is everything t joe crowley is not in terms of gender and ethnicity but also in terms of just being other and different. and that is very, very imp
