Trump has appointed the grandmother he pardoned in his first term to a position that would make recommendations for other acts of clemency.

What will a Pardon Czar do? "We're going to be listening to your recommendations," Trump told Johnson at a Black History Month event at the White House, where he announced the new position.

President Trump offered clemency to grandmother Alice Johnson in 2018 while she was serving prison time for nonviolent drug-related offenses.
