爲女犯請願減刑,卡戴珊會見了總統川普

Johnson was imprisoned for life in 1996 for drug dealing and money laundering after her 15 accomplices all testified against her and had their charges dropped - despite Johnson's minimal role in the cocaine ring. It was her first offence.
約翰遜於1996年因販賣毒品和洗錢入獄,她的15位共犯都做出了對她不利證詞,罪行減輕,而約翰遜並非毒品販賣的主犯,這是她第一次犯罪。

'Today's her birthday, so no greater gift than freedom on her birthday,' Barnett said of her 63-year-old client petitioning for a pardon.
“今天是約翰遜的生日,自由是最好的禮物。”提及這位63歲高齡的當事人,波奈特說她請求赦免。

Kardashian had a confirmed meeting on prison reform with Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser. Barnett said it was her 'hope' that Kardashian would also have an opportunity to plead Johnson's case to the president.
卡戴珊和白宮高級顧問傑·庫什就監獄改革也進行了會談,波奈特說“希望”卡戴珊也能將約翰遜的案件反映給特朗普。

That hope came true.
她的願望成真了。

'The message to the president is that Alice Johnson, the 21 years she has been in prison, represents a punishment that more than pays her debt to society and that to keep her prison the rest of her life is morally and economically unjustifiable,' Barnett stated.
波奈特說:“跟總統反映的內容是:愛麗絲·約翰遜在監獄待了21年,這樣的責罰遠遠超過了她對社會犯下的罪行,讓她在監獄度過餘生從道義和經濟上來講都是說不通的。”

After the meeting, Kardashian left the White House and headed for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's DC home.
會談後,卡戴珊離開白宮,前往傑·庫什和伊萬卡在特區的家。

She later tweeted: 'I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.
隨後,卡戴珊發了一條推特:“感謝特朗普總統今天下午拿出時間。我們希望總統能赦免愛麗絲·約翰遜,因爲一次無傷亡的毒品販賣試水,她在監獄裏度過了一生。”

Kardashian, 37, in both her meetings with Kushner and the president, discussed a pardon for Johnson, who will otherwise spend the rest of her life in prison for a first-time drug offense.
37歲的卡戴珊在和庫什、總統的會談中都提到了赦免約翰遜,否則約翰遜就要因爲一次過錯在監獄中度過餘生。

Johnson's life sentence did not come with the opportunity for parole.
約翰遜的終身監禁中並無假釋。

Her conviction and incarceration caught the eye of Kardashian on Twitter earlier this year.
今年初,卡戴珊在推特上看到約翰遜監禁案件。

Kardashian said in a tweet Wednesday morning that confirmed reports that she was headed to the White House: 'Happy Birthday Alice Marie Johnson. Today is for you.'
週三早晨,卡戴珊在推特上證實了她將前往白宮的消息:“愛麗絲·約翰遜,生日快樂!今天是你的節日。”

The White House confirmed Kardashian was expected.
白宮也表示卡戴珊受邀而來。

'She is expected to be here at the White House. I can confirm she'll be here,' press secretary Sarah Sanders told during a news conference. 'We'll keep you posted on any meetings that take place, what those look like.'
新聞祕書薩拉·桑德斯在新聞發佈會上告訴《每日郵報》:“白宮邀請卡戴珊,她肯定會來。我們會隨時向大家發佈最新情況。”

Kardashian, who appeared on Trump's NBC show 'The Apprentice' in 2010, said she voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
2010年卡戴珊曾參加特朗普在美國廣播公司的節目《學徒》,2016年總統大選,卡戴珊爲希拉里投了票。

Trump, in an infamous interview with shock jock Howard Stern in 2015, said Kardashian was 'fat.'
2015年,特朗普和驚世駭俗的主持人霍沃德·斯德進行訪談時,說卡戴珊“很肥”。

'Does she have a fat ass? Absolutely. And if it weren't Kim, they'd say, 'wow, I don't want to go out with her,'' he told Stern.
特朗普對斯德說:“卡戴珊屁股特肥對吧?就是這樣,要不是卡戴珊,誰願意和這種肥屁股的女人出去。”

Barnett, who joined Johnson's legal team in November, said that Kardashian's 'support has been tremendous' in putting a spotlight on not only Johnson's case but all the other low-level offenders doing hard time.
11月,波奈特成爲約翰遜律師團隊的一員,她說卡戴珊的幫助“非常大”,不止讓大家看到了約翰遜,還有很多罪情不重的人過得多麼艱辛。

'She was not only moved to tears, she was moved to action,' Barnett said of the celeb.
“卡戴珊很感動,但她不止於感動得流淚,她在行動。”
