Just a week shy of getting the news that Donald Trump had commuted her sentence, the 63-year-old grandmother was overcome with emotion after serving a 21-year bid for nonviolent charges related to drug possession and money-laundering.

And everyone was amazed. And I was amazed, too.”

The biggest question critics seem to have is if we’ll see the reality star enter the world of politics. Watch her response below.
