Nashville, Tenn. – Todd and Julie Chrisley, the reality TV stars serving prison time for tax evasion and bank fraud since their 2022 conviction, are preparing to regain their freedom following President Donald Trump’s pardon. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the couple’s attorney, Alex Little, explained that the pardon would effectively erase their legal case, allowing them to rebuild their lives. The pardon, which was announced following a phone call between Trump and their children, has sparked a wave of gratitude and relief from the family.
Todd and Julie were convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022 and initially received sentences of 12 and seven years, respectively. However, their sentences were later reduced. The pardon, which Trump announced after speaking directly with their daughter Savannah and son Chase, marks the first time such a decision has been made in recent years. Little emphasized that the pardon is a powerful tool that can completely wipe away a criminal case, allowing the couple to reintegrate into their family life.
Cherishing the opportunity to reunite as a family, the couple now looks forward to spending time with their young adult child, who has been eager to have both parents back. Meanwhile, Savannah’s persistent advocacy for her parents played a significant role in securing the pardon, according to Little. The couple’s attorney praised her efforts, calling it a testament to the importance of family support in legal matters. As the Chrisleys prepare to return home, the pardon has become a topic of significant public interest and media attention, highlighting the intersection of celebrity, family, and the legal system.
