Todd and Julie Chrisley, reality TV stars known for “Chrisley Knows Best,” are set to be released from prison following a pardon from former President Donald Trump. Convicted in 2022 of fraud and tax evasion, the couple’s release comes after their daughter Savannah advocated for them during a meeting with members of Trump’s family. Alex Little, their attorney, noted uncertainty around Trump’s decision to grant the pardon but mentioned that Savannah had lobbied for it since before Trump’s inauguration.
Little argued that the Chrisleys faced harsher treatment due to their celebrity status, suggesting that they were victims of a biased criminal justice system. Their case attracted attention, especially considering Trump’s own legal troubles, including his recent conviction for falsifying business records. Savannah Chrisley has publicly embraced comparisons to the Trumps, asserting that her family was unjustly prosecuted due to their public profile and conservative values.
The pardon effort involved significant figures within Trump’s circle, including legal advisors and former prosecutors. It represents a broader trend of high-profile pardons granted by Trump, particularly to those he perceives as victims of political biases. Critics of these pardons express concerns about the undermining of law enforcement efforts.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years, while Julie received a 7-year term for their involvement in defrauding banks and tax evasion. Their accountant also faced charges and served time. Although the Chrisleys are focusing on reuniting with family post-release, speculation exists about their potential return to reality TV.
