But I did!” Kardashian West also revealed what happened behind the scenes when she spoke to President Donald Trump on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson, a 62-year-old great-grandmother who was incarcerated for 22 years for a first-time nonviolent drug offense. “I’m naked and my phone rings and I’m all glammed up,” she told Kimmel. “I put a robe on and I was kinda bugging out during the shoot because I’m like ‘Oh, my God, all these amazing things are happening,’” she said before adding that she wasn’t going to let an experience change her head or stop her from posing naked. “I’m still going to be me.” Over the weekend, Kardashian West chopped off her long hair and debuted a sleek, short bob at the City of Hope poker tournament.

Late Sunday night Kardashian West tweeted, “Wait I miss my long hair 😢”<doc-sep>Late night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump while talking to Kim Kardashian, but she refused to join in on the bashing. 'I have nothing bad to say...' In the interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Monday, the late night critic of the president ask Kardashian to explain how she ended up in the Oval Office seeking a pardon for a woman with a life sentence. Kardashian related that she was in a nude photo shoot when the president called, and Kimmel said that had she told him she was naked at the time, he would have freed the entire prison. Kardashian laughed, but didn't add anything to his joke. Kimmel then joked that first lady Melania Trump needed to be pardoned and freed by President Trump. Kardashian didn't join in on this attack either. When Kimmel asked if her husband Kanye West still supported the president, Kardashian responded that he did. She explained that Kanye West "doesn't necessary agree with the policies, he likes his kind of his personality and how he made it to be president when everyone really underestimated him." "He's not political so he doesn't really dig deep into what's going on," she added. "I have nothing bad to say about the president and he's done something amazing and so I am very focused," she said to Kimmel. "Right because you still have people on the list!" Kimmel mocked, referring to other people she wanted Trump to consider for a presidential pardon. Kardashian kept reiterating that she was hopeful for more interactions with Trump in order to advocate for good causes, even as Kimmel continued to joke at the expense of the president.

Johnson had spent decades in prison for the nonviolent drug crimes she was charged with. Kardashian faced criticism for meeting with the president at the Oval Office and thereby "legitimizing" his presidency.<doc-sep>Reality TV megastar Kim Kardashian West punted on any criticism of President Donald Trump on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Monday -- no matter how hard the host tried to draw it out of her. Kardashian appeared on Monday's show to promote the 15th season of her family's reality show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," but spent much of the first segment discussing Trump, Alice Johnson's release and her husband, Kanye West. "I have nothing bad to say about the president," Kardashain told Kimmel, after recounting her May visit to the White House. Kardashian met with the president on May 30 to discuss the release of Alice Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug charge in Tennessee. Kardashian took up the woman's plight after seeing calls for her release on social media. "I knew that there was only one person in power who could make this change, who could get this woman out of prison, so I went for it," Kardashian told Kimmel of her plea to the president. Johnson's sentence was commuted by Trump on June 6, and she was immediately released from prison. Kardashian said she got a call directly from Trump after he commuted Johnson's sentence. Only she happened to be completely naked at the time. "He called me, so I was at a Steven Klein photoshoot. ... So I'm naked, and I'm all glammed up, my phone rings, and I'm like, 'Get me a robe!'" Kardashian said. "I was kinda bugging out during the shoot. I'm like, 'Do I do this nude shoot? Do I not do this nude shoot?' And I did it, and then I called Alice." Kimmel joked she should've told Trump she was naked, and he "would've released to whole prison." Kardashian ended up being the person to give Johnson the news she would be released. The two also discussed the infamous photo Trump tweeted out of the two meeting in the Oval Office on May 30. "This seemed to be the happiest day of his presidency," Kimmel joked of the grinning president. "Honestly, I walk in, and I look in, and I'm kinda star struck," Kardashian said of her first trip to the White House, before unleashing a torrent of curses. "Holy s---, what in the f---, the Oval Office! ... Wait a minute, I'm really here." Kardashian said her activism for Johnson may not be the last of her presidential interactions though. "I'm very grateful, I'm very hopeful more good things will come out of our meeting," she said. "There's a lot of positive things, and bills we're trying to get passed," Kardashian added. The star more or less passed on talking about her controversial husband. West drew heavy criticism earlier this year for publicly endorsing Trump on social media, donning a "Make America Great Again" hat. Responding to Kimmel's question about the rapper's support for Trump, she said, "Yeah, I think he really ... uh yeah." The crowd, and Kimmel, laughed at her being unable to find the words to describe her husband's support. She said Kanye West doesn't necessarily support his policies, but respects Trump winning the presidency, and succeeding against the odds in doing so.<doc-sep>
(CNN) — Kim Kardashian West appreciates that President Donald Trump helped her. The reality star turned criminal justice advocate appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday, where she shared with the host her experience successfully lobbying the president to pardon Alice Marie Johnson. Kardashian West said she connected with the great-grandmother, who served 22 years of a lifetime sentence for a first-time nonviolent drug offense, after discovering her story on Twitter. Alice Johnson gets chance to personally thank Kim Kardashian West for her freedom That led to her working to secure a meeting at the Oval Office, she said. “I walk in and I look around and I’m kinda starstruck by the Oval Office. And the first thing I say in our meeting, I say, ‘Holy s**t we’re in the f***ing Oval Office,’” Kardashian West recalled. She said she was naked and in the midst of a photo shoot when Trump called her about the meeting. “I’m naked and my phone rings and I’m all glammed up,” Kardashian West told Kimmel. “I’m like ’[Gasp] get me a robe!’” “I put a robe on and I was kinda bugging out during the shoot, because I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, all these amazing things are happening,’ and I’m still going to be me,” she added. “I’m like, ‘What do we do? Do I do this nude shoot, don’t I do this nude shoot?’ And I did it.” Kimmel seemed tickled by the revelation. “Did the president know you were in a robe and nothing else?” Kimmel jokingly asked. “Cause he probably would have released the whole prison.” The makeup mogul also discussed her husband, rapper Kanye West’s continued admiration for Trump. She said she doesn’t debate politics with her spouse. “To make it clear, when we would talk about it and would talk about policies, he doesn’t necessarily agree with [Trump’s] policies,” she said. “He likes his personality and how he made it to be president when everyone really underestimated him. [Kanye]’s not political, so he doesn’t really dig deep with what’s going on.” Kardashian West said she follows a similar path as her husband’s when it comes to Trump. “I have nothing bad to say about the president. You know, he’s done something amazing,” she said. “I don’t agree with everything either. I had no idea what to expect going in there and I was like, ‘Look, I’m going to be focused.’ It really turned my idea around in this category.”
