President Donald Trump informed Savannah Chrisley on Tuesday that he intends to grant full pardons to her parents, reality TV personalities Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are currently serving prison sentences for fraud and tax evasion.
The announcement comes nearly two years after the couple was convicted in federal court and marks a significant development in a high-profile case that has drawn increasing attention from criminal justice reform advocates.
Trump personally called Savannah Chrisley to deliver the news.

“That’s a terrible thing. It’s a terrible thing. But it’s a great thing because your parents are gonna be free and clean. And I hope we can do it by tomorrow. Is that okay? We’ll try getting it done tomorrow,” Trump said during the phone call.

Savannah, who has emerged as a prominent voice for criminal justice reform since her parents’ conviction, responded, “I think that’s wonderful. Thank you so much, Mr. President.”

Todd and Julie Chrisley, known for their USA Network show Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted in 2022 on multiple counts of bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy.
Todd Chrisley is currently serving a 12-year sentence at FPC Pensacola in Florida, while Julie is serving a seven-year sentence at FMC Lexington in Kentucky.
Savannah Chrisley has maintained that her parents were unfairly targeted by politically motivated prosecutors in Georgia.
She has said that the family was singled out because of their visibility and conservative ties, and she has compared her family’s legal battles to the legal scrutiny faced by President Trump.

Earlier this month, Savannah appeared on Fox News in an interview with Lara Trump, where she claimed the case was influenced by politics and prosecutorial bias.
She pointed out that the case originated in Fulton County, Georgia, and claimed that two Democrat prosecutors who had previously donated to Democrat candidates were behind the prosecution.
“Our case was in Fulton County, Georgia and originally, they were not gonna prosecute because they said it was very weak,” Savannah said.
“They didn’t have the evidence that they needed to prosecute… it took nine years to issue a federal indictment.”
She further stated that prosecutors referred to her family as the “Trumps of the South” during the trial, which she believes contributed to their targeting.
“That’s why I spoke at the RNC on the weaponization of the DOJ—because we saw it firsthand,” she said.

Savannah has also taken on full-time responsibilities caring for her younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe, while continuing to publicly advocate for her parents’ release through her podcast and public appearances.
She has been outspoken about broader issues of prosecutorial overreach and what she views as the political weaponization of the justice system during the Biden-Harris administration.
The Chrisley case is one of several high-profile cases under review, according to Trump administration officials.
Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins recently cited additional cases, such as that of Charles and Heather Maude, a South Dakota couple reportedly targeted by federal authorities over a century-old property boundary dispute.
While the official pardon documents have not yet been released, Trump’s comments on Tuesday indicate that the formal process is expected to be completed imminently, possibly as early as Wednesday.
If finalized, the Chrisleys will be granted full pardons, clearing their records and leading to their release from federal custody.
