President Donald Trump pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley, the reality TV stars convicted of fraud and tax crimes in 2022. Their release followed months of advocacy by their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, and Alice Johnson, a former inmate whose life sentence commutation by Trump in 2018 was aided by Kim Kardashian. Savannah utilized social media and her podcast to keep her parents' case in the public eye, expressing concerns about their prison conditions. After receiving news of a successful appeal (which was ultimately unsuccessful), Savannah, a vocal Trump supporter, requested a pardon and rallied support at CPAC. Alice Johnson, described as Trump's "pardon czar," was present in the Oval Office when Trump informed Savannah of the pardon. Trump's conversation with Savannah was shared on social media, showing Johnson celebrating the news. Todd received a 12-year sentence at FPC Pensacola, while Julie received seven years at FMC Lexington. The Chrisleys, who maintained their innocence throughout their trial, starred in the USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best." They were convicted of conspiracy to defraud banks of over $30 million and tax evasion. Savannah Chrisley has pledged to continue advocating for judicial reform.
