Chase Chrisley publicly expressed gratitude following former President Trump’s announcement of pardons for his parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. The reality TV couple, known for their show “Chrisley Knows Best,” was convicted in 2022 for defrauding banks out of over $36 million through fraudulent loans, which they allegedly used for luxury purchases. Todd was sentenced to 12 years, while Julie received a seven-year sentence for their involvement in tax evasion and conspiracy.
On Tuesday, Trump shared news of the impending pardons during a call with the Chrisley couple’s children, Savannah and Grayson. He remarked on the dual nature of the situation, describing it as both “terrible” and “great” because their parents would soon be free. The White House indicated that Trump would likely sign the pardons within 24 hours, although as of Wednesday morning, the Bureau of Prisons had not received the official paperwork.
A White House spokesperson stated that Trump is keen on providing second chances to individuals he believes have been unfairly prosecuted. This decision is part of a series of high-profile pardons made by Trump, which have stirred controversy, including recently pardoning Scott Jenkins, a former sheriff convicted for corruption. Trump’s pardoning actions have drawn parallels to those of President Biden, who pardoned his son Hunter for federal charges and other relatives before leaving office.
Chase Chrisley’s comments reflect a sense of relief as he looks forward to having his family reunited. The Chrisleys’ legal battles highlight ongoing debates over fairness in the justice system and the implications of presidential clemency.
