Todd and Julie Chrisley freed from prison after Trump’s pardon wipes out their fraud and tax evasion convictions, reuniting the reality TV family.
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley walked free from federal prisons on Wednesday, their sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion erased by a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. The couple, known for their show Chrisley Knows Best, had been serving time since their 2022 convictions, but now they’re headed back to Nashville to reunite with their family.
Todd stepped out of a Pensacola facility first, followed by Julie, who was released from a medical center in Lexington, Kentucky. Their attorney, Alex Little, confirmed to WTFNewsRoom that the pardons effectively wipe their slate clean, as if the case never existed. “It’s a fresh start,” Little said, emphasizing the profound impact of Trump’s decision.
The Chrisley children were overjoyed. Daughter Savannah Chrisley, visibly emotional outside the Pensacola prison, described the pardon as a bolt from the blue. “I was walking into Sam’s Club when I got the call from the president,” she said, her voice breaking. She’s been relentless in her fight to free her parents, framing it as a broader battle for others left behind in the justice system. Her brother Grayson was tasked with picking up their mother, while son Chase expressed gratitude to Trump, saying, “Our family is whole again.”
The pardons sparked celebration but also questions about the system. Savannah didn’t hold back, claiming prosecutors unfairly targeted her father. The family’s story, filled with drama both on and off screen, now takes a new turn—freedom, redemption, and a chance to rebuild.

Well, folks, the Chrisleys are out, thanks to Trump’s magic pardon pen—guess it’s not just reality TV that loves a plot twist! Savannah’s fighting spirit reminds me of a boxer in the ring, swinging for justice. But here’s the real kicker: while the Chrisleys get a redo, the system’s still got more holes than a reality show script. Why do some get a golden ticket while others are stuck in the slammer? Talk about a cliffhanger!
