() President Donald Trump told Savannah Chrisley in a phone call Tuesday that he plans to grant full pardons to her parents, reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are serving federal prison sentences for tax evasion.
“Your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump said during the call from the Oval Office, according to a post on X by Margo Martin, special assistant to the president and communications advisor.
Trump said he hoped to complete the pardons by Wednesday, telling Savannah Chrisley he didn’t know her parents personally but wished them “a good life.”
The Chrisleys, stars of the USA Network reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” were convicted in 2022 on charges including tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison, while Julie Chrisley received seven years.
Savannah Chrisley has been advocating publicly for her parents’ release, arguing their sentences were excessive.
