Their daughter Savannah Chrisley had lobbied for their freedom to President Trump, who shared the news in a phone call from the Oval Office.

“Your parents are going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow,” Trump told Savannah Chrisley.

In 2022, a jury found real estate tycoon Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie guilty of defrauding banks out of $30 million. The couple were sentenced to 12 years and seven years in federal prison, respectively.

A judge initially threw out Julie Chrisley's sentence over insufficient evidence, but she received the same punishment after resentencing.

Prayers answered

Their daughter Savannah advocated on their behalf in a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention, calling their case an example of the weaponized justice of which Trump himself became a target.

She thanked Trump and his pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson, who received a pardon from Trump in 2018 for cocaine trafficking.

"For the past two and a half years, I’ve done everything in my power to fight for my parents’ freedom and bring them home. This moment is the answer to countless prayers, and I am beyond grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family," Chrisley said.

"This administration does not hand out favors. It examines the facts and stands up for what is right," Savannah said. "I also want to thank Alice Marie Johnson for her unwavering support and our attorney, Alex Little, for being an essential part of this process," she continued.

Trump corrects "harsh" treatment

The Chrisleys' lawyer, Alex Little, also thanked Trump in a statement, adding the prosecution "was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias."

Trump seemed to agree Tuesday, saying the couple received "pretty harsh treatment."

The pardon is the latest controversial example of Trump using his power to correct alleged abuses in the justice system. In one of his first actions after returning to the White House, Trump gave a blanket pardon to the January 6th Capitol protesters, whom Trump had described as hostages or political prisoners of the Biden administration.

Trump also opened the door Wednesday to pardoning the men convicted of targeting Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) in a haphazard kidnapping plot. The defendants said they were the victims of entrapment by FBI agents who actually guided the scheme.
