Overview

  • President Trump signed full pardons for Todd and Julie Chrisley on May 28, 2025, leading to their immediate release from federal prisons in Florida and Kentucky.
  • The couple was convicted in 2022 of conspiring to defraud community banks of over $30 million and evading taxes, receiving sentences of 12 years for Todd, seven years for Julie and $17.8 million in restitution.
  • After more than two years apart, the Chrisleys reunited with their children and plan to celebrate missed birthdays, holidays and family milestones now that they are home.
  • Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, led the push for clemency with social media campaigns, White House meetings, an RNC speech and a personal Oval Office call from President Trump.
  • Critics and the Chrisleys’ attorney have argued the prosecution was tainted by constitutional violations and political bias, reflecting Trump’s broader practice of pardoning high-profile supporters.
