Overview

• President Trump issued full pardons on May 28 for Todd and Julie Chrisley, overturning their 2022 convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion.
• Todd was freed from a minimum-security prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, and Julie left a Lexington, Kentucky, facility, marking their first reunion in over two years.
• Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, led a persistent clemency campaign with advocacy on her podcast, at the Republican National Convention, and through appeals to White House officials.
• The couple were convicted of conspiring to defraud community banks of more than $30 million, received a combined 19-year sentence, and were ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.
• Critics have highlighted allegations of political bias in the prosecution, and the pardons follow a pattern of Trump granting clemency to high-profile supporters.
