Van Jones, a CNN contributor and former advisor to President Barack Obama, expressed willingness to collaborate with President-elect Donald Trump again on criminal justice reform. The two worked on reforms during Trump’s first term in office. The potential collaboration between Jones and Trump would focus on criminal justice issues.
Jones has previously worked on issues involving criminal justice reform. Jones –– who made the comments on CNN while discussing President Joe Biden’s sweeping clemency earlier this week –– believes that bipartisan efforts are essential for reform and values dialogue across political lines.
