SHOT. . .
McClatchy’s Francesca Chambers tweeted at 9:02 a.m. this morning that, “A source familiar confirms that @KimKardashian will be at the White House today”:

CHASER. . .
Would her anonymous source be Kim Kardashian’s Twitter feed? Timestamp 8:47 a.m.:
Today Alice, Crystal, Judith, Tynice and I, along with the @cut_50 team will be at the White House bringing light to these women and discuss more change that our justice system desperately needs!
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 4, 2020
Update: NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell has the scoop, too! Her timestamp his even later than the one above:
Sources say the president will meet this afternoon with @KimKardashian @AliceMarieFree and three women he recently pardoned. Alice Marie Johnson suggested to Mr. Trump that he would want to hear their stories and he agreed.

This should provide the president with a good news cycle, for today at the very least:
TODAY @KimKardashian is helping formerly incarcerated women go from the jail house to the White House. Always blown away by @JessicaJackson, @EdyHaney & the @cut_50 & @REFORM crews. I hope @realDonaldTrump keeps granting clemencies & pardons to sisters like this. #FightDifferent https://t.co/6P02cCQMNN
