JOHNSON: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: And you spent about 22 years?<\/p>\n<p>MS. JOHNSON: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: And \u2014 for something that, today, a lot of people wouldn\u2019t even be going to jail for. And it was \u2014 it was horrible. And we found out about it. And we gave a commutation; that means we were able to get Alice out. And she has been just so outstanding, and I\u2019m so proud of you.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re giving Alice a full pardon. I just told her. We didn\u2019t even discuss it. We just \u2014 you were out there; I saw you in the audience last night. And I asked the folks if you could bring Alice over, and we\u2019re going to give a full pardon. We\u2019re going to do it right now.<\/p>\n<p>That means you have been fully pardoned. That\u2019s the ultimate thing that can happen. That means you can do you whatever you want in life. And just keep doing the great job you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Alice had done an incredible job since she\u2019s been out, and \u2014 recommending other people. We said, \u201cHow many people are they like you?\u201d There\u2019s only one Alice, as far as I\u2019m concerned. But how many people are like you or your circumstance, where they were given this massive sentence? And they\u2019re good people, great people. And she said, \u201cSo many. They\u2019re in jail. So many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she\u2019s looking for those people, and she\u2019s recommending those people, and we\u2019ve already done some that you know \u2014 that you know are good people. And they\u2019ve done really well since they\u2019ve been out.<\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019re taking Alice from a commutation to a full pardon, and I\u2019m going to sign it right now. And we\u2019re very proud of Alice and the job you\u2019ve done \u2014<\/p>\n<p>MS. JOHNSON: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: \u2014 what you represent.<\/p>\n<p>And Pastor Robert Jeffress \u2014 unrelated, but he was here. And we thought maybe I\u2019ll sign this, and then maybe you\u2019ll like to say a prayer.<\/p>\n<p>PASTOR JEFFRESS: Yes, sir. I\u2019d love to.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: And maybe you could include the media because they need it probably more than we do. They definitely need it more than Alice. (Laughter.) That I can tell you. Okay, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>(The pardon is signed.)<\/p>\n<p>So, Alice, it\u2019s a full pardon. It\u2019s been signed. You might want to keep that one. And here it is. (Applause.)<\/p>\n<p>Pastor, please.<\/p>\n<p>PASTOR JEFFRESS: Let\u2019s pray together.<\/p>\n<p>Father, we thank you for the remarkable story of Alice Johnson, a strong believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose life was filled with heartache and injustice. And yet, instead of becoming bitter, she chose to trust in you. She cried out to you for years, asking relief from the hurt that she was feeling.<\/p>\n<p>And we thank you that she chose to answer her prayers to you through a great President named Donald Trump \u2014 a great leader, who, yes, believes in law and order, he believes in justice, but he also believes in mercy. And thank you for moving in his heart to do this great act today.<\/p>\n<p>And, Father, I pray that today\u2019s full pardon will result in a brand-new life for Alice. Continue to bless her and her family as they go throughout this nation and world, sharing the good news that you, God, offered eternal pardon from sin to all who trust in your son, the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Again, we thank you for the President. Thank you for the example he set for all of us of what it means to be a forgiving person. And we pray this in the name of the one who came and died and rose again that we might eternal life, Jesus Christ our Savior. It\u2019s in His name that we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Robert. That was really \u2014<\/p>\n<p>PASTOR JEFFRESS: Thank you, Mr. President, for this example.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>Alice, thank you very much, and congratulations. It\u2019s a real honor.<\/p>\n<p>MS. JOHNSON: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: It\u2019s a real honor.<\/p>\n<p>PASTOR JEFFRESS: Congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, everybody.
