Savannah Chrisley Slams Rumors of Trading Favors for Parents’ Pardon

Savannah Chrisley is hitting back hard at the vicious rumors suggesting she traded favors to secure a presidential pardon for her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. In the latest episode of her podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, she didn’t hold back, calling the accusations outright "laughable."

"I’m not sleeping with someone for a pardon, and my bank account certainly doesn’t have the funds to buy one," Savannah stated with a mix of frustration and humor. Self-respect, she emphasized, isn’t up for negotiation.

Last week, the reality TV stars of Chrisley Knows Best walked free from prison after receiving a full pardon from President Donald Trump. Todd and Julie had been serving sentences of 12 and 7 years, respectively, for bank fraud and tax evasion convictions dating back to 2022. Their charges involved defrauding banks of over $30 million in loans, though their sentences were later reduced.

Savannah, who has been a relentless advocate for her parents since their imprisonment began in January 2023, made it clear this pardon wasn’t a shady deal. "My parents were pardoned because I fought like hell," she declared. She challenged what she calls a "broken system" and the "weaponization of the DOJ," ultimately getting the right ears to listen and review the injustices in their case.

Looking ahead, Savannah is eager to reclaim lost time with her family. "I can’t wait for trips, family moments, and making up for what we’ve missed," she shared, acknowledging the road back to normalcy will take time.

At a recent press conference in Nashville, Todd Chrisley opened up about his prison experience, crediting faith, family, and fitness for keeping him grounded. Daily workouts, reading, and a deepened spiritual connection got him through, as did regular contact with his children and wife Julie via emails. Julie, who skipped the press event to focus on family, was described by Todd as a "wonderful, God-fearing woman" and an exceptional mother.

Their lawyer, Alex Little, confirmed Julie is doing well, prioritizing family time after years of separation. For the Chrisley family, this pardon marks not just freedom, but a chance to rebuild and reconnect.
