President Trump called Savannah Chrisley from the Oval Office, announcing his intention to pardon her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted for defrauding banks of millions. The Chrisleys, stars of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, were sentenced to substantial prison terms due to their involvement in a $30 million fraudulent loan scheme. Their attorney suggested they faced unfair prosecution, which was part of their reasoning for seeking a pardon. This call comes amid a broader trend of Trump issuing pardons, raising discussions around his decisions in high-profile criminal cases.
During a call from the Oval Office, President Trump informed Savannah Chrisley that he would pardon her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, convicted of bank fraud.
Todd Chrisley received a 12-year sentence, while his wife Julie was sentenced to seven years for defrauding banks of millions, totaling around $30 million.
