Todd and Julie Chrisley Rejoice in Nashville After Trump’s Pardon Frees Them from Prison

Todd Chrisley was all smiles, stepping out in Nashville with his family on Thursday, just days after President Donald Trump granted him and his wife Julie a full pardon. The "Chrisley Knows Best" star, joined by daughter Savannah, hit up a Nordstrom, looking like a man reborn after two and a half years behind bars. The couple’s 2022 conviction for fraud and tax evasion—stemming from a scheme involving over $30 million in fraudulent loans—had landed them 12 and seven-year sentences, respectively, though those were later reduced.

Savannah, who’s been a fierce advocate for her parents’ release, shared her joy on Instagram, posting, "Reunited and it feels so good." The emotional weight of the moment was clear when she stood outside the Pensacola federal prison, tearfully telling reporters that Trump’s pardon "literally came out of nowhere." She described a personal call from the Oval Office, where Trump promised to free her parents, a gesture that left her in shock and awe.

Julie, released from a Kentucky facility the same night as Todd, is also headed back to Nashville. Their lawyer confirmed the couple’s swift release after Trump’s Tuesday announcement. Savannah’s fight wasn’t just for her family—she’s vowed to keep pushing for others left behind in the prison system, calling out what she sees as prosecutorial overreach in her parents’ case.

This pardon marks a dramatic turn for the Chrisleys, whose reality TV fame couldn’t shield them from legal woes but whose story now takes a hopeful new chapter. As they rebuild, Savannah’s gratitude to Trump and her legal team shines through, promising to pay forward the kindness shown to her family.
