President Donald Trump on Friday signed a full pardon for Alice Johnson, whose life sentence for drug offenses was commuted several years ago.
“We are giving Alice a full pardon. I just told her,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, as Johnson sat next to him. “We didn’t even discuss it ... I saw you in the audience last night, and I asked the folks if you could bring Alice over,” he said. “And we’re going to give a full pardon. We’re going to do it right now. That means you have been fully pardoned. That’s the ultimate thing that can happen.”
