Trump pardons reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley
President Trump called Savannah Chrisley from the Oval Office in the White House to tell her he wanted to pardon her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley.
President Donald Trump is set to pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, former reality TV stars who have been serving respective prison sentences for bank and tax fraud charges, his administration announced on May 27.
Margo Martin, a Trump communications advisor, shared a video on X of the president calling the couple’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, to inform her of the news.
“I hope we can do it by tomorrow,” Trump said in the video, referring to the pardons.
In a video on Instagram, Savannah Chrisley said, “I have shed so many tears.”
“The president called me personally as I was walking into Sam’s Club and notified me that he was signing pardon paperwork for both of my parents,” she said.
The family rose to fame with the USA Network reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” which ran for ten seasons from 2014 to 2023. In part, it followed the family’s complicated dynamics, including the estrangements of two of Todd Chrisley’s older children.
The show’s success also sparked several since-canceled spin-off series, including “According to Chrisley” and “Growing Up Chrisley.”
Todd Chrisley and his family members have been vocal backers of Trump — Savannah Chrisley even spoke in support of his campaign at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Here’s a look at where the Chrisley family members are now.
Who are Todd and Julie Chrisley?
Todd Chrisley, the patriarch of the family, is described in his USA Network bio as “a self-made millionaire and successful entrepreneur.”
Alongside his second wife Julie Chrisley, “Chrisley Knows Best” followed the family’s opulent lifestyle first in Atlanta, Georgia, before they relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. On the show, Todd Chrisley said he made his wealth primarily in real estate.
What did Todd and Julie Chrisley do to land in prison?
In 2022, a jury convicted the couple of defrauding community banks of more than $30 million for personal loans as well as tax evasion. Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and seven years in prison, respectively. They began their sentences in January 2023.
“Chrisley Knows Best” was cancelled following the couple’s convictions.
