Todd & Julie Chrisley Granted Full Pardons From President Trump
Todd and Julie Chrisley, longtime stars of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, were sentenced in November 2022 for alleged fraud and tax evasion. A federal Grand jury indicted them on 12 counts of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and tax evasion.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Julie was sentenced to seven. They both began serving their sentences in January 2023 and have been actively appealing their charges since then.
On May 27, 2025, President Donald Trump called Todd and Julie’s daughter, Savannah, to inform them that he was granting each a pardon. He said:
“Your parents are going to be free and clean, and I’m hoping we can do it by tomorrow. Is that okay? I don’t know them, but give them my regards. I wish them a good life.”
