Savannah Chrisley has been at the forefront of her parents’ plight while in prison. But she is not alone in celebrating Todd and Julie Chrisley’s recent pardon and release.
Her older brother, Chase Chrisley, spoke exclusively with The New York Post about how he felt after their release.
“I am grateful to God and extremely grateful to President [Donald] Trump and his entire administration. I’m beyond thankful to finally have my parents back home and my family together again!” Chase Chrisley, 28, said.
Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in 2022. They were accused of defrauding the government. They did this by submitting fake documents to secure more than $30 million in fraudulent loans.
They are best known for “Chrisley Knows Best,” a reality show on USA Network where they showed off their opulent lifestyle.
Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison and was in FPC Pensacola in Florida while Julie was sentenced to seven years in prison. She was in the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
Another son is hopeful this will give him and his father a chance for reconciliation.
Kyle Chrisley 33, gave a statement to E! News.
“I’m ecstatic,” he said. “Truly. I just found out a little bit ago and I still just can’t believe it.”
Now, Kyle Chrisley is looking toward the future.
“I know they can’t wait to get home and just be with family,” he said, “and I’m going to remain hopeful that another reconciliation is possible.”
As of last June, Kyle Chrisley said that he hadn’t spoken to his father in over a year.
Kyle Chrisley, who is Todd Chrisley’s son with ex-wife Teresa Terry, credited his half sister, for working on their parents’ behalf.
“I know Savannah had been working at this for so long and she never gave up,” Kyle Chrisley said. “So I’m just grateful to her and to President Trump for making this happen for my dad and Julie.”
Savannah Chrisley, 27, received a phone call from Trump informing her of the pardon.
“Your parents are going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow,” he said. “I don’t know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good life.”
The Chrisley family attorney, Alex Little, told Page Six that it “corrects a deep injustice and restores two devoted parents to their family and community.”
“President Trump recognized what we’ve argued from the beginning: Todd and Julie were targeted because of their conservative values and high profile. Their prosecution was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias,” his said in a statement.
“Todd and Julie’s case is exactly why the pardon power exists. Thanks to President Trump, the Chrisley family can now begin healing and rebuilding their lives,” Little said.
