KIM Kardashian is to meet Donald Trump today in a bid to free a great-gran jailed for a drug offence.

Kim, 37, was first made aware of her case on Twitter and has been campaigning to have her pardoned.

According to celeb news site , Kim and her lawyer will visit today - and TV cameras for her show Keeping Up With The Kardashians will not be present.
Trump is said to be in favour of waiving Mrs Johnson's sentence after the move was backed by daughter Ivanka.

He backs greater job training and drug treatment programmes in prisons and early release for non-violent prisoners to serve the remainder of their sentences at home.
