Kim Kardashian had sharp response to warnings Trump White House visit would end her career: book

life is explored in a new book chronicling her meteoric rise to fame.

In the new book, "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future," writer Jonathan Van Meter dove deep into the lives of the Kardashians, particularly Kim, and how she built her empire outside of reality TV.

Through a series of interviews with members of the Kardashian family, including Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, as well as those close to the famous family, Van Meter discusses the biggest moments in her life, including her relationship with Kanye, the terrifying Paris robbery, her mother's affair and her prison reform and advocacy work.

Here are some of the biggest headlines from the book.

In October 2017, Kim saw a video of Alice Marie Johnson in prison, in which she was pleading for clemency.

She opened up in the book about how the video "changed my life," saying she immediately reached out to Shawn Holley, who was a lawyer on O.J. Simpson's defense team, asking "What can we do?"

After learning the only way to get Johnson out of prison was a presidential pardon, Kim reached out to Ivanka Trump, who put her in touch with Jared Kushner. Kushner helped set up a meeting between Kardashian and President Trump, a move that raised concerns on both sides about the "optics," according to the book.

"Everyone was telling me, Dont go, your career will be over; you cant step foot in there. And I was like, Its my reputation over someones life? Weigh that out," Kim said in the book. "People talk s--- about me all day long. It will just be another story about me versus someone getting their life back."

A week after the meeting with President Trump, Kim was able to call Johnson and personally deliver the news that she had been granted clemency.

"She started screaming on the phone. I was on the set of a Steven Klein shoot, practically nude, so I had to cover with a robe and make this call and tell her," Kim said. "She packed her stuff—whatever she checked in with twenty two years prior—and was released immediately."

Kim's experience advocating on behalf of Johnson was her first step on the path towards becoming a lawyer and furthering her advocacy work.

She met with President Trump again, this time on behalf of a man who received a life sentence for a nonviolent crime. This time, she was accompanied by attorney Van Jones, who said he will "never forget walking into the West Wing with her."

While Jones felt as if "Every sentence I said made it worse," he recalled Kim and the president discussing the case, including Kardashian's response after Trump said, "This guy . . . let's just be honest now. This is a tough guy."

"Kim had memorized the case," Jones said in the book. "She knew everything about the person. She told the president, You can be the big guy; you can help a sick man. It was like watching a ballerina hypnotize a grizzly bear . . . her syllable-to-impact ratio is off the charts. What she can get done in a simple sentence!"

Jones argued in the book that while some may resent Kim because "she represents somebody who already has it all" and is now trying to also "be successful in my field," he says, "if youre in jail, and youre trying to get out, youre not mad at Kim Kardashian."

"You have literally hundreds of thousands of people for whom the system is so broken that only when a Kim Kardashian steps in does she change the odds in their favor, even a little bit," he said. "So you can be mad at Kim or you can be mad at the system that is so broken that it needs Kim."
