Following the meeting, Mr Trump tweeted a photo of himself with a stoic Kardashian in the Oval Office. “Great meeting with [Kim Kardashian] today, talked about prison reform and sentencing,” Mr Trump tweeted.

Kardashian has spoken out about prison reform previously, and has been campaigning for the pardon of Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender who is serving life without parole for those crimes.

Image
Egypt’s Mohamed Salah’s shoulder injury will keep him out of action for three to four weeks, Liverpool’s club physiotherapist has said. The Egyptian tries to recover in time for the World Cup. The 25-year-old winger is desperate to play for Egypt in only their third World Cup and their first for 38 years. “He is sad about what happened but is totally focused on recovery, seeing when he can be ready,” physiotherapist Ruben Pons told Spanish sports newspaper Marca. Salah was injured during Liverpool’s Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid. “In principle it will be between three and four weeks but we will try to reduce those dates, that’s the big goal,” he added. Egypt begins their campaign in World Cup Group A against Uruguay on June 15, before facing hosts Russia on June 19 and Saudi Arabia on June 25.
