IT’S an unlikely political pairing that brought together two of the world’s biggest ever reality TV stars.

Kim Kardashian West has met with Donald Trump at the White House overnight to discuss prison reform and appeal for the pardoning of a first-time drug offender.

The 37-year-old reality star reportedly discussed prison reform with Jared Kushner, the US President’s son-in-law, before heading to a meeting with Mr Trump in the Oval Office, where they got a photo together.

Kardashian reportedly made a legal argument to Mr Trump for why he should pardon Alice Johnson, a 62-year-old great-grandmother who is serving a life sentence without parole for a first-time drug offence.

More than 21 years after Johnson went to prison, Kardashian came across her story on Twitter earlier this year and reached out to Ivanka Trump, who connected her to Mr Kushner, Vanity Fair reports.

Kushner is an advocate of prison reform after the experiences of his father Charles, who served a one-year term in 2005 for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering.

Kardashian did not bring the camera crew for her reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, according to Vanity Fair. Husband Kanye West was not present either.

Kim Kardashian initially approached First Daughter Ivanka Trump, who then put her in touch with her husband Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser.

According to US media reports, Johnson’s conviction stemmed from her leading role in a multimillion-dollar drug ring that dealt thousands of kilograms of cocaine over a three-year period.

In a 2016 op-ed for CNN, Johnson wrote: “I want this part to be clear: I acknowledge that I have done wrong. I made the biggest mistake of my life to make ends meet and got involved with people selling drugs.

“This was a road I never dreamed of venturing down. I became what is called a telephone mule, passing messages between the distributors and sellers. I participated in a drug conspiracy and I was wrong.”

The unlikely meeting follows Kardashian’s rapper husband Kanye West declaring his infatuation with Trump on Twitter last month.

“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought,” West tweeted.

Every Kardashian sister then unfollowed the controversial music star after his pro-Trump tweets.

During the US election, both Kardashian and West threw their support behind Hillary Clinton.

TWITTER REACTS

Within seconds of Trump posting a photo of him and Kardashian to his more than 52 million Twitter followers, the post was littered with thousands of comments, most of which were poking fun at the political pairing.

What fresh hell are we living in?!??
