"For the past two and a half years, I’ve done everything in my power to fight for my parents’ freedom and bring them home," she explained. "This moment is the answer to countless prayers, and I am beyond grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family."
She continued, "I also want to thank Alice Marie Johnson for her unwavering support and our attorney, Alex Little, for being an essential part of this process. Today is a victory for our family, but the fight against wrongful convictions and injustice within our prison system is far from over. I will continue to use my voice and platform to advocate for those who do not have one. Family is everything to me, and I will never stop fighting for what is right."
