Drug offender released after Kim Kardashian West's plea to Donald Trump
Donald Trump has commuted the life sentence of a 63-year-old woman whose cause was championed by Kim Kardashian West.
Alice Marie Johnson spent more than two decades behind bars, serving life without parole for non-violent drug offences.
She was released hours after the White House announcement.
In contrast to a pardon, Mr Trump's actions only ended rather than erased Ms Johnson's conviction.
Kardashian West, who met with the president to lobby on behalf of Johnson, tweeted that the prisoner's release was the "BEST NEWS EVER!!!!".
The television personality later tweeted to say she spoke to Johnson on the phone to tell her the news, saying the phone call was "one of my best memories".
"Telling her for the first time and hearing her screams while crying together is a moment I will never forget," she added.
Michael Scholl, a member of Johnson's legal team, said she was released just before 6pm from prison in Alabama.
Footage shows Johnson running toward her family - throwing her arms wide open and embracing them in front of a crowd of onlookers.
"Everybody was crying and hugging," Scholl said.
