President Donald Trump’s newly-appointed “pardon czar” outlined the priorities for her role Monday, telling “America’s Newsroom” she is “ready” and eager to get started.
“I plan to fulfill the trust that the president has placed in me,” said Alice Marie Johnson, a former prisoner pardoned by Trump during his first administration.
“He’s given me specific marching orders and, actually, I’ve been working on this nonstop since my release. This is really a continuation of the work that I’ve already been doing. I’ve brought many pardon cases before the president in the past and one thing I can say about President Trump [is], he was very interested in their families. He wanted to know if they have a solid reentry program in place,” she added.
