Alice Marie Johnson, the woman whose life sentence was commuted by President Trump this week, promised the commander in chief: “I will make you proud.”Johnson, 63, had been serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole after she was convicted of a first-time nonviolent drug offense and charges related to money laundering. Reality TV icon Kim Kardashian West took up her case, even meeting with Trump at the White House to plead for clemency. In an interview Thursday night with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on “The Story,” Johnson expressed her gratitude for Trump's decision the day before to commute her sentence. “Thank you so much President Trump for taking the time to look at my case and to really look at me,” she said. Johnson said that it’s finally “starting to set in that I’m truly free.”She revealed, “I’m so happy, nothing bothers me.”Fox News’ Martha MacCallum contributed to this report.
