May 28, 2025
Reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley have been pardoned by President Donald Trump after being imprisoned on federal convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion. Todd Chrisley was released Wednesday evening from a prison in Florida, while Julie Chrisley was freed from a facility in Lexington, Kentucky. The couple is best known for the long-running TV series “Chrisley Knows Best,” which followed their family and luxurious lifestyle. Prosecutors said that lifestyle was boosted by bank fraud and hiding earnings from tax authorities. Trump signed the pardons Wednesday. They are the latest example of the president pardoning high-profile friends, supporters, donors and former staffers.
