Trump says Alice Johnson will be his ‘pardon czar’

Alice Marie Johnson is being considered for the role of 'pardon czar' by Donald Trump after her life sentence was commuted in 2018, with support from Kim Kardashian as noted by the New York Times.
Trump announced Johnson's potential appointment at a Black History Month event, asking her to advise on pardons and highlighting her previous case for clemency.
Johnson's appointment is not yet finalized, and Trump's plans may change, according to sources familiar with the discussions reported by the New York Times.
Critics have raised concerns about Trump's actions against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which they argue help address historical inequities.
