Trump pardons reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley after lobbying campaign from daughter Savannah

President Donald Trump pardoned reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley on Tuesday, calling their daugher Savannah and informing her of his decision.

The Chrisleys, who starred in the television show Chrisley Knows Best and several spin-offs, were found guilty in 2022 of defrauding banks out of $30 million.

Julie Chrisley is serving time in Kentucky, while Todd Chrisley is serving time in Florida.

White House aide Margo Martin revealed the pardon by posting video of the president on the phone with Savannah, captioning the post: 'Trump Knows Best!' a play on the couple's breakout reality TV show title.

While pushing for a pardon, 27-year-old Savannah has become a fixture in MAGAworld.

She attended the 2024 Republican National Convention and the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference - both events where Trump was the headliner and aides and allies were everywhere.

Chrisley appeared on the sidelines of last month's White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The lobbying effort paid off when Savannah received a call Tuesday from the Oval Office.

Remember when he said he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave and not lose one supporter. Maybe this is his way of trying to prove that to be true.

Trump occasionally does something dumb. This is one of them.

Savannah ticks all of President Trump's boxes. She could be his daughter. Definitely his type.

Maybe Trump did it for the Gay vote as Todd is queer as a 3 dollar bill...

Savannah was on Lara Trump’s show a couple of weeks ago. She said her parents were overcharged because of their politics and Lara seemed very sympathetic.

In June 2022, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley were found guilty on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion and submitting false documents to banks to take out loans and fund their lavish lifestyle. In November 2022, the couple was sentenced. Todd Chrisley reported for his 12-year sentence on 17 January 2023, to Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola. Julie Chrisley, who was sentenced to seven years, reported to Federal Medical Center, Lexington. In September 2024, Julie Chrisley’s seven-year sentence has been upheld, following an appeal, which was determined in United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. Before the ruling was announced, Julie expressed her regret for her actions.

Todd said he has embraced longtime, false rumors that he is gay: “I’m flattered that people think I can get laid on both ends. So, that doesn’t bother me and my wife certainly is flattered that as many men want her husband as there are women.”

Nothing prosecuted by a leftist DOJ, tried in front of a leftist judge, or involving the FBI can be trusted. All of those vermin are corrupt and every action should be questioned.

I don’t think they’ve served enough time yet. They deserve to be punished.

HUNTER BIDEN AND THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL CLAN OF BIDENS WERE PARDONED.

I don’t care that these criminals were pardoned. I don’t.

You seem to be one of the few, here, not triggered by this POTUS pardon 😉

These two are very good people who have suffered prison conditions worse than those in many third-world countries. If you’re wondering why Trump pardoned them, it’s because he has a heart.
