President Donald Trump plans to grant a Todd Chrisley pardon, clearing the reality TV star and his wife, Julie Chrisley, after their fraud and tax evasion convictions. Trump informed the Chrisleys’ children—Savannah and Grayson—of the pardon in an Oval Office call on Tuesday, saying their parents would be “free and clean” as soon as Wednesday.
Todd Chrisley Pardon: Trump’s Surprise Call
In a private call from the Oval Office, Trump told Savannah and Grayson Chrisley that he would sign their parents’ pardons within 24 hours. “It’s a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump said. Grayson replied, “Mr. President, I just want to say thank you for bringing my parents back.” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields praised Trump for giving “well-deserving Americans a second chance.”
Conviction Details and Sentences
Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted in November 2022. An Atlanta jury found them guilty of:
- Fraud and conspiracy to defraud banks of over $36 million by submitting false statements
- Tax evasion, including failure to pay $500,000 owed to the IRS
- Conspiracy related to evading taxes for years 2013 through 2016
Judge sentencing delivered 12 years for Todd and seven years for Julie. Prosecutors said the couple spent the fraud proceeds on luxury cars and travel, despite earning millions from their show.
