Kim Kardashian’s dramatic return to the White House: Star will discuss criminal pardons with Kamala Harris six years after she met Trump… but will it hurt Biden’s chance of getting Taylor Swift’s endorsement?

Kim Kardashian returns to the White House on Thursday to participate in a roundtable discussion with Vice President Kamala Harris to highlight President Joe Biden’s recent pardon.

Axios reported for the first time that the reality star will appear at the afternoon event.

It will mark her first trip to 1600s Pennsylvania during the Biden administration — after she lobbied former President Donald Trump on criminal justice reform during his time in office.

The invitation could precede a possible endorsement from Kardashian, but it could also complicate the Biden campaign’s search for pop star Taylor Swift, as Kardashian and Swift have been locked in a feud for years.

Kardashian arrives in DC two days before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – an event she has attended many times over the years.

She last came to the annual dinner in 2022 – with then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

On Wednesday, Biden pardoned 16 people convicted of non-violent drug crimes as part of Second Chance Month.

Harris’ roundtable will include four of the people who received clemency, Axios reported.

Kardashian became part of the Trump orbit when she visited the White House in May 2018 to lobby the then-president to pardon Alice Johnson, a Black woman serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug-related crime.

In June, Trump commuted Johnson’s sentence — and later granted her a full pardon in August 2020, just months before the presidential election.

In turn, Johnson became a surrogate for Trump’s re-election campaign and delivered a speech at that summer’s Republican National Convention, held in Washington due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

During the same period, Trump became angry with Kardashian — who has never publicly said who she voted for in the 2020 presidential race.

In November, Trump called Kardashian “the most overrated celebrity in the world.”

Trump was angry about an anecdote in the book by Jonathan Karl of ABC News: Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Partywhich stated that then-president Kardashian had asked for help in recruiting “soccer stars.”

In the waning days of his administration, Kardashian — who worked to get non-violent offenders out of prison — had asked Trump to commute more sentences, as he had done after their highly publicized Oval Office meeting in 2018.

A source told Karl that “Trump listened to her requests and demanded an outright quid pro quo.”

“He would allow the lump sum payments, he told Kardashian, if she used her celebrity connections to have football stars who were friends of hers visit him at the White House,” the ABC News reporter wrote.

“Kardashian essentially tried to do what Trump demanded and saw it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences. But all the players she approached refused,” Karl said. “Trump had become too toxic. In the last two weeks of his presidency, no one wanted to be around him.”

In a Truth Social post, Trump called Karl a “failed ABC Fake News reporter,” adding that he “works sooo hard, but has sooo little talent.”

“In the ‘book’ he has the world’s most overrated celebrity, Kim Kardashian, supposedly telling me she would ‘use her celebrity to bring football stars to the White House’ if I commuted the sentences of several inmates, Trump wrote. “This story is Fake News because she would be the last person I asked to get footballers.”

Trump then boasted that he had “many teams from all sports and leagues in the White House.”

Kardashian never explicitly said she was a Biden supporter, although she posted a photo of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with three blue hearts after Democrats won the 2020 election against Trump.

While Trump said on Truth Social that there were “many other false stories in Karl’s very boring book,” the journalist did report that Trump was upset with Kardashian’s support for Biden.

Months after Trump left the White House, Kardashian reached out to him to see if he would be open to a high-profile plea for clemency.

She “received a call back from Trump quickly,” Karl wrote.

“No,” the former president told her. He wouldn’t do it. “You voted for Biden and now you come to ask me for a favor?” Trump told her,” the ABC journalist said. “After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump hung her up.”
