Todd and Julie Chrisley were released from prison after being fully pardoned by Donald Trump — despite the couple’s previous convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion. Many Americans were shocked by this news, wondering why the president decided to release the Chrisleys.
In August 2019, Todd and Julie were charged with tax evasion and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Prosecutors accused the couple of submitting false financial documents to obtain millions of dollars in loans.
In June 2022, Todd and Julie were found guilty of tax evasion and defrauding banks of over $ 30 million in loans. However, they maintained their innocence after the verdict.
Trump did not specify the reason for pardoning Todd and Julie, but some family members were avid supporters of the president. In a phone call between Trump and the Chrisley children, he said, «It's terrible, but it’s great because your parents will be free and clear. Hopefully, we can get this done by tomorrow… I don’t know them, but please give them my congratulations and best wishes».
Savannah Chrisley later confirmed via Instagram Live that her parents had been pardoned, saying, «My parents can start their lives over! My phone is blowing up right now, but President Trump granted them full, unconditional pardons, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you, President Trump».
In a separate statement, Savannah added that she «did everything in her power to fight for her parents' freedom and bring them home» since their sentencing in 2022.
«This moment is an answer to countless prayers, and I am endlessly grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family», - said Savannah. «This administration does not compromise. It examines the facts and defends what is right».
Savannah spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention to praise Trump. However, the president stated that he had never personally met Todd and Julie.
As of May 2025, Todd’s net worth is -$ 18 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In comparison, Julie’s net worth seems to have increased. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth is $ 1.5 million
