President Donald Trump said his efforts in passing criminal-justice reform have elicited phone calls from NFL players who have thanked him for his commitment.

Speaking to CBS’s “Face the Nation“ in a wide-ranging interview that aired on the same day as the Super Bowl, Trump said he did what previous presidents failed to do. In December last year, he signed into law a landmark criminal-justice reform bill dubbed the ”First Step Act“ that directly addressed unfair disparities that had plagued the judicial system for decades.
