Julie Chrisley burst into tears when her daughter Savannah called with the news that President Trump had signed their pardon. She was in prison at the time and couldn’t believe the good news. Todd Chrisley thought it was a joke at first until a prison guard confirmed it. The couple thanked God and President Trump for their freedom.
The Chrisleys were locked up for bank fraud and tax evasion. Todd got twelve years and Julie got seven years. They had been in prison since early 2023. That’s a long time away from their family. Now they’re free because of the President’s pardon.
Todd said God touched President Trump’s heart to pardon them. He prayed every night to come home to his wife and kids. Julie explained that in prison you usually get bad news. So when the pardon came, it was a huge surprise. She hung up the phone because she was so nervous.
The whole family sat down with Lara Trump for their first interview. They appeared together on Fox News. Julie, Todd, Savannah and Grayson Chrisley told their story. Lara Trump is President Trump’s daughter-in-law. She hosts the show “My View with Lara Trump.”
Todd joked that once pardoned, he was great. No more worries for the prison guards about him. Julie described how other inmates checked on her when she cried. They were used to sad news. But this time it was happy tears of freedom.
The Chrisleys believe people advocated for them because of God. Todd says God led those people to help. The family is deeply religious. They see the pardon as a miracle from above. That’s why they keep thanking God and the President.
President Trump gave them full pardons in May. This wiped away their crimes completely. The Chrisleys are reality TV stars from “Chrisley Knows Best.” Their legal troubles had sent them to prison. Now they can rebuild their lives.
The full interview airs this Saturday on Fox News. It will show the Chrisleys telling their story. They want America to hear how they got their freedom back. Their gratitude to the President is clear and strong.
