Just hours after a surprise presidential pardon, Savannah Chrisley shared an emotional video revealing how she learned the news and what’s next for her family.
On May 28, 2025, President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of Chrisley Knows Best, clearing them of charges related to tax evasion and bank fraud. The announcement came via Margo Martin, Special Assistant to the President, on X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread reaction.
Trump called the couple’s sentencing “pretty harsh treatment” and personally reassured their children, saying, “It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean.”
White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said the president “is always pleased to give well-deserving Americans a second chance, especially those unfairly targeted by an unjust justice system.”
The pardon marks a dramatic turn for the Chrisley family, bringing relief amid a high-profile legal battle and sparking debate about presidential clemency.
