President Donald Trump is making an announcement Wednesday on criminal justice reform.
He's speaking on H.R. 5682, the "FIRST STEP Act," a bill designed to "provide for programs to help reduce the risk that prisoners will recidivate upon release from prison, and for other purposes."
The acronym FIRST STEP stands for "Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person."
The president has previously heard appeals for prison reform from the likes of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, meeting with them separately at the White House.
