Donald Trump to Pardon Convicted ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ Stars Todd & Julie Chrisley, Causing Public Uproar

Part 2 of 2

Overwhelmed with emotion, she added, “I will forever be grateful for President Trump, his administration, and everyone along the way.” She thanked her legal team and others who worked behind the scenes: “To the people who put in countless hours and effort and love for my family… thank you.”

The Chrisleys are now preparing for Todd and Julie’s return. “We’re putting clothes together for mom and dad, getting their room put together upstairs,” Savannah shared.

She also acknowledged those who had supported her family’s fight, especially political allies: “To all of the political figures… thank you.” Still in disbelief, she added, “It still doesn’t feel real. I’m freaking out.”

Savannah concluded her video with a vow of continued support for Trump and a commitment to advocate for others behind bars. “President Trump didn’t just commute their sentences, he gave them a full, unconditional pardon… I will stand next to [him] and continue fighting.”

The pardon follows months of legal efforts. In February 2025, NBC News reported the couple was seeking clemency. Their attorney, Jay Surgent, argued that Todd and Julie were victims of unfair treatment, citing constitutional rights violations — including an unwarranted warehouse search. Although a judge denied the suppression of related evidence, Surgent blamed the defense’s procedural missteps and promised a formal request would be filed with Trump’s legal team.

The Chrisleys gained fame through Chrisley Knows Best, which aired for ten seasons starting in 2014. They later appeared in Growing Up Chrisley with their children, Savannah and Chase.

Their legal troubles culminated on June 8, 2022, when they were convicted of defrauding banks of more than $30 million. The Department of Justice detailed how the couple submitted fake documents to secure loans, which funded a lavish lifestyle. FBI Agent Keri Garley remarked, “When you lie, cheat and steal, justice is blind to your fame, your fortune, and your position.”

Julie was also convicted of wire fraud and obstruction. The couple’s attorneys vowed to appeal, citing concern for their family’s well-being.

Before their federal trial, the Chrisleys settled a separate state-level tax case with Georgia, agreeing to pay just under $148,000 — and even receiving refunds for several years.

Despite those outcomes, the federal charges remained. But now, with a presidential pardon, the Chrisleys are officially free — a dramatic turn in a long legal saga.
