Kim Kardashian returns to the White House in an all-white suit
Kim Kardashian made another trip to the White House on Wednesday, this time with Alice Marie Johnson by her side, in addition to three other women whose sentences were commuted by President Donald Trump with Kardashian’s help.
The reality TV mogul turned criminal justice reform advocate took to Twitter to share that she would be heading there for another discussion on the justice system, along with Tynice Nichole Hall, Crystal Munoz and Judith Negron, women who served alongside Johnson in prison, and were later released on the recommendation of Johnson and Kardashian.
Today Alice, Crystal, Judith, Tynice and I, along with the @cut_50 team will be at the White House bringing light to these women and discuss more change that our justice system desperately needs!

Kardashian later posted a photo of the group with the caption, “White House here we come!!!” which prompted Twitter applause about female empowerment.

It seems that the power of women wasn’t lost on Kardashian herself, as she wore an all-white suit reminiscent of the suffragettes.
The color, which was adopted by the National Women’s Party honoring women who fought for their right to vote, was famously worn by Hillary Clinton when she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, along with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the 2019 State of the Union. A sea of white looks were also worn during an emotional #TimesUp performance by Kesha at the 2018 Grammys, days before people questioned if First Lady Melania Trump was making a statement of her own by wearing an ivory suit at the 2018 State of the Union.
Still, it isn’t clear whether or not Kardashian aimed to make a statement with her look. Although her work is certainly making waves in the White House.
Meet Judith Negron, Crystal Munoz and Tynice Nichole Hall.
At the recommendation of @AliceMarieFree, @KimKardashian and the @cut_50 team, these 3 mothers were granted clemency by @realDonaldTrump last month and are already using their second chance to pay it forward! pic.twitter.com/4ysQku3Mag— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) March 4, 2020
Grateful for the opportunity today to highlight the continued need for clemencies (and changes to the clemency process!) and thank the White House for their work to bring more people home! @AliceMarieFree @KimKardashian @EdyHaney https://t.co/VEVe78NOsT

TODAY @KimKardashian is helping formerly incarcerated women go from the jail house to the White House. Always blown away by @JessicaJackson, @EdyHaney & the @cut_50 & @REFORM crews. I hope @realDonaldTrump keeps granting clemencies & pardons to sisters like this. #FightDifferent https://t.co/6P02cCQMNN
