Kim Kardashian shows fans rare behind-the-scenes photos from White House visit

Kim Kardashian has shared some behind-the-scenes photos from her visit to the White House, where she discussed criminal justice reform with US Vice President Kamala Harris.

The reality TV star, who has long been an advocate of the issue, was invited to a meeting in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. Kim, 43, spoke at the roundtable, which also included four people who received clemency from the Biden administration this week, all of whom were convicted of non-violent crimes.

On her Instagram Stories, the reality star shared some backstage photos taken before the meeting, including a photo of a steel plaque that reads “Seal of the President of the United States” and a photo of the White House. She also posted a selfie with a kissing face and a peace sign, taken on the White House grounds, with the caption: “Can’t wait to share all about the Second Chance event at the White House today. Thank you Madame Vice President.”

The meeting took place as Harris announced a new Small Business Administration rule that lifts some restrictions on loans for people with criminal records. The vice president said, “Making available, reducing and eliminating that limitation will mean a lot in terms of second chances and the opportunity for people to excel.

“Isn’t it a sign of a civil society that we give people a way to earn their way back, and give them the support and resources they need to do that?” The event came a day after President Joe Biden used his clemency powers to pardon 11 people and commute the sentences of five others.

The White House said the individuals received disproportionately long sentences and would have received shorter sentences under current laws and policies. During the meeting, Kim said: “I am super honored to hear your stories here today.

“I think it’s so important to share and amplify them because there are so many people in your position who could use the inspiration.” The Skims magnate highlighted the need for criminal justice reform during the Trump administration as she advocated for pardons during meetings with the former president and his son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.

So far, Biden has commuted the sentences of 129 people and pardoned 24 people who committed non-violent drug offenses, according to data from the Justice Department’s Office of Pardon Attorney. The US president has also highlighted his efforts on marijuana reform, which he also mentioned in his State of the Union address in March.

This is not the first time Harris has teamed up with celebrities to highlight government initiatives. Last month, she met rapper Fat Joe during a roundtable discussion with people who had been pardoned for marijuana offenses.

An official said: “Our goal here is to improve the government’s actions, especially our second chance policy. She has worked with well-known individuals with platforms to elevate and highlight the work the government has done in this case on second chance policies. “
