Kim Kardashian West made her second Oval Office visit to speak with President Trump on behalf of a prison inmate Wednesday, joined by former U.S. District Judge Kevin Sharp, who personally asked Trump to reverse a life sentence he issued.Read more here.
Kardashian West and Sharp were accompanied by #cut50 co-founder and Democratic pundit Van Jones for a discussion that lasted about 20-30 minutes, Sharp told the Washington Examiner.
Trump asked about Chris Young, 30, who was arrested at 22 and received a life sentence for dealing drugs, but also brought up Matthew Charles, who returned to prison this year after a court found his drug sentence was reduced in error, Sharp said.
"We talked about Chris Young and Matthew Charles. He clearly had read the files," Sharp said. "He asked some factual questions [and said] 'tell me a little more about these people'."
Sharp, who sentenced Young to life in prison, previously said he had no choice but to give the penalty, which he called "way out of whack." He resigned his lifetime judicial post last year and recently partnered with Kardashian West to overturn the sentence.
Sharp said he told Trump that he was the judge who sentenced Young and that "I think it carries some weight. ... Nobody, probably, knows the case better than I do."
