In a video posted on the official White House account by Margo Martin on X, President Trump is depicted sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, making a call to Chrisley’s daughter, Savannah. He informs her that her parents will soon be receiving a full pardon and will be returning home.

“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clear, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow,” Trump informed her over the phone. “Is that okay? We will try to get it done by tomorrow.”

“Give them my regards and wish them my luck,” he added, as emotions ran high for Savannah on the call after receiving the happy news regarding her parents. “They were given pretty harsh treatment based on what I’m hearing.”

“Congratulate your parents,” Trump continued, giving credit to his Pardon Czar Alice Marie Johnson, who he said helped make it happen. During Trump’s first presidency, the president commuted Johnson’s sentence in 2018 after 21 years behind bars for a nonviolent drug offense. And in 2020, she received a full pardon from Trump.

The post was captioned, “President Trump calls @_ItsSavannah_ to inform her that he will be granting full pardons to her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley! Trump Knows Best!”

The Chrisleys gained fame with their hit reality TV series “Chrisley Knows Best.” It launched in 2014 and ran for 10 seasons before they were found guilty of defrauding banks of tens of millions of dollars.

The Associated Press reported that:

Prosecutors said the couple walked away from their responsibility for repayment when Todd Chrisley declared bankruptcy and left $20-plus million in unpaid loans. Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven years in federal prison, and Todd Chrisley got 12 years behind bars. The couple was also ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told NBC News in a statement that the president is “always pleased to give well-deserving Americans a second chance, especially those who have been unfairly targeted and overly prosecuted by an unjust justice system.”

“President Trump called Savannah and her brother from the Oval Office to personally inform them that he would be pardoning their parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, whose sentences were far too harsh,” Fields added.

Julie is currently serving time in Kentucky until 2028, while Todd is behind bars in Florida until 2032, the Daily Mail reported.

On Monday, Trump made headlines when he pardoned former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins.

“This Sheriff is a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice and doesn’t deserve to spend a single day in jail,” Trump posted, in part, to Truth Social.
