Alice Johnson was one of the first people freed as a result of the Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person (FIRST STEP) Act.
Kardashian helped convince Trump to enact it on January 3, 2019.
Last year Trump said his admin had worked closely with members of both parties to sign the First Step Act into law and that the legislation gives non-violent offenders the chance to re-enter society as productive, law-abiding citizens.
Kardashian visited Washington DC with Cut 50, a bipartisan initiative to cut crime and incarceration nationwide.
'White House here we come!' she posted alongside a picture of herself with the group, including Cut 50 co-founder Jessica Jackson.
They posed inside the Four Seasons hotel which also greeted her with a white chocolate sculpture of the White House with the Washington monument in the background.
As the women traipsed to the meeting Wednesday, Kardashian managed to capture a a similar shot of the iconic location while she told followers she was visiting the West Wing.

Kardashian previously revealed that she had been warned that meeting Trump would 'ruin' her career. But the Johnson clemency has helped Kardashian gain respect with some criminal justice reform backers.
She visited the White House in July, thought to be about seeking justice for rapper A$AP Rocky, who was jailed in Sweden on July 3.
The month before, Kardashian shared photos from her visit to Washington D.C. where she gave a speech about criminal justice reform issues.
Former prison Tynice Hall, 36, served nearly 14 years of an 18-year sentence for allowing her apartment to be used to distribute drugs.
A statement released by the White House stated the mother had 'accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has worked hard to rehabilitate herself.'
Crystal Munoz, a 40-year-old Texas woman who spent 12 years in prison after being convicted on marijuana charges, has credited Alice Johnson with helping to secure her clemency from the president.
Kardashian said on social media that Munoz's conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana conviction meant she left behind a five month old baby. She was also pregnant at the time.
'Crystal was shackled by prison guards during the birth of her second daughter,' Kardashian explained. 'Her case was highlighted in the First Step Act.'
Johnson said in a social media clip that the visit was to help free other women from prison

Judith Negron served eight years of her 35-year sentence for her role as a minority-owner of a healthcare company engaged in a scheme to defraud the Federal Government.
The statement said she 'spent this time working to improve her life and the lives of her fellow inmates.'

Florida woman Negron got clemency last month while serving prison time for a $205million Medicare fraud scam said her case was brought to Trump's attention by Kardashian West.
The FBI called her case one of the longest sentences ever imposed in a Medicare Fraud Strike Force case when Trump commuted her sentence.
'I had some guardian angels as I call them, such as Alice Johnson, who had been advocating for me behind the scenes,' Negron told The Associated Press in an interview at her home shortly after her release.
Johnson had been convicted in 1996 on eight criminal accounts related to a Memphis based cocaine trafficking operation.
Johnson was featured in one of Trump's campaign ads during this year's Super Bowl. She told the AP that the president had been looking specifically for female candidates, and had asked her for a list of other women who deserved clemency.
When she was released, Negron's family drove roughly four hours in the middle of the night to pick her up from prison, saying they were too overjoyed to sleep. Friends and family streamed into the home, carrying flowers and balloons.
Negron said she'd been dreaming of hugging her boys without restrictions, taking a shower in her own home and 'tucking them into bed and I don't know how they'll welcome that being that they are all grown up, but at least one night.'

The family repeatedly thanked Trump from their South Florida home in a swing state where the Latino vote will play a crucial role this election year. But the family said they didn't view this as a political move and had no plans to join Trump's re-election campaign.
Negron said she plans to help others in the clemency process.
'I see this as a miracle that was bestowed upon me by President Trump and his administration and I feel a responsibility to pay this blessing forward because there's a lot of deserving people just like me that I want to ensure they're not forgotten,' said Negron, sitting on the couch in jeans and a T-shirt.
With tears in his eyes, her husband Hector Negron described raising their two boys, who were 4 and 10-years-old when she was convicted, describing the sad, lonely home and holidays they spent travelling to Virginia to visit her.
'We want to say thank you to (Trump) personally,' her husband and high school sweetheart said. 'I don't see it politically because I'm nobody. We're not political people.'

Negron, who is 50, was among the 11 federal inmates around the nation who received clemency actions thanks to the president. She was convicted as a first-time offender in 2011 in a case that made national headlines.
Authorities said she and two co-defendants paid bribes and kickbacks to owners and operators of assisted living facilities and halfway houses, as well as patient brokers, in exchange for delivering ineligible patients to their mental health facility.
Kim is currently studying to become a lawyer, and is gearing up to take the California bar exam.
Though Kim is not attending law school, she is eligible to take the bar through an alternative path known as 'reading the law', apprenticing through a practicing lawyer or judge.
Kim revealed to Vogue back in April she had been mentoring with practicing attorneys with the hopes of taking the infamously difficult test in 2022.
At the time, Kim said the legal concepts had been coming easily to her.
