he Chrisley Family, Their Legal Battles, and the Truth Behind the Pardon Rumors

By Ilsa SophiaPublished 8 months ago 3 min read

In recent months, the names Todd and Julie Chrisley have returned to headlines amid widespread rumors and speculation about a possible presidential pardon. Fans of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best have been following the family’s journey, especially after Todd and Julie were sentenced to federal prison for financial crimes. But now the internet is buzzing with one major question: Did Donald Trump pardon the Chrisleys?

Here’s a simple breakdown of what we know, what’s real, and what’s just rumor.

🏛️ Why Were Todd and Julie Chrisley Sentenced?

Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the hit USA Network show Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted in 2022 for bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Prosecutors claimed the couple lived a lavish lifestyle funded by fraudulent bank loans and hiding money from the IRS.

Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison.

Julie Chrisley received 7 years.

Their sentences shocked fans, especially given their fame and seemingly picture-perfect family life.

📰 The Pardon Rumors: Where Did They Start?

The idea of a “Chrisley pardon” or “Trump pardoning the Chrisleys” began spreading quickly on social media platforms like Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook. Some users claimed former President Donald Trump had added Todd and Julie to a list of people he might pardon if he returned to office—or even before leaving office in 2021.

The search terms “Trump pardons the Chrisleys,” “Todd Chrisley pardon,” and “did Trump pardon the Chrisleys” spiked as the story gained traction.

❌ Has Trump Pardoned the Chrisleys?

No, as of now, there is no official record or confirmation that Donald Trump has pardoned Todd or Julie Chrisley.

Presidential pardons are public and listed in the federal register. Neither Fox News, CNN, nor any other reputable news outlets have confirmed such a pardon. Additionally, no statement has been issued by Trump or the Chrisley legal team regarding a pardon.

It appears these rumors may have started due to speculation or wishful thinking among fans who hope to see the couple released early.

📺 Where Are the Chrisleys Now?

Todd Chrisley is serving his sentence at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida.

Julie Chrisley is at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky.

They are currently working through the appeals process, hoping to overturn or reduce their sentences.

Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, has taken on a central role in the family, often speaking out on social media about the legal battle and maintaining her parents’ innocence. She has even mentioned the possibility of a Trump pardon in interviews, adding more fuel to the fire.

🧑‍⚖️ Could Trump Still Pardon the Chrisleys?

Technically, yes—if Trump were re-elected as President, he would have the power to issue pardons once again. But as of today, the Chrisleys have not received any such pardon, and they continue to serve their sentences.

Pardons are typically granted for various reasons—rehabilitation, miscarriage of justice, or political support. While Trump has issued controversial pardons in the past, there is no guarantee he would consider the Chrisleys for one.

👨‍👩‍👧 The Chrisley Family Today

Despite the legal troubles, the Chrisley family continues to share updates with fans. Savannah, Chase Chrisley, and the rest of the family are active on social media and podcast platforms.

They continue to promote their faith and fight for justice, claiming that Todd and Julie were unfairly targeted.

The show Chrisley Knows Best has been canceled, but reruns still air. Many fans still refer to them as “the Chrisleys” and hold out hope for a reunion or even a spin-off series.

🔍 Final Thoughts

To recap:

No, the Chrisleys have not been pardoned by Trump.

Yes, rumors have been circulating online, likely started by speculation or statements from Savannah Chrisley.

Todd and Julie Chrisley remain in prison, and their appeal process is ongoing.

A Trump pardon is possible in the future, but nothing has been confirmed.

Until then, fans of the Chrisley family will have to wait and see what the courts—and possibly future presidents—decide.
