Freedom at Last: Todd and Julie Chrisley Released from Prison After Presidential Pardon
Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley are finally free, thanks to a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. After serving two and a half years in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion charges, Todd walked out of a federal prison in Pensacola, Florida, on Wednesday evening. His wife, Julie, was released from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, shortly after. Their lawyer, Alex Little, confirmed that both Todd and Julie are on their way home to Nashville.
A Family Reunited
The Chrisley children were overjoyed by the news, with Savannah, Chase, and Kyle expressing their gratitude to President Trump and his administration. Savannah, who had been fighting for her parents’ release, was emotional as she awaited her father’s release outside the prison. She revealed that Trump’s pardon “literally came out of nowhere” and that she was in shock when the president called to inform her of the pardon. Grayson, Savannah’s brother, picked up their mom from prison, and the family is now preparing for a joyous reunion.
A New Beginning
According to their attorney, the pardon will wipe away the couple’s case entirely, allowing them to start fresh. “It’s as if the case hasn’t happened, and fortunately Todd and Julie will be able to pick up their lives to the best that they’re able and go on forward and focus on the future,” Alex Little explained. The Chrisleys’ case has garnered significant attention, and this development marks a new chapter for the family.
