Savannah Chrisley says her family is getting a “fresh start” after former President Donald Trump granted full pardons to her parents, reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were serving time for tax evasion and bank fraud.

In an emotional Instagram video posted Tuesday, Savannah recounted the moment she got the call directly from Trump while walking into a Sam’s Club.

“The president called me personally… and notified me that he was signing the pardon paperwork for both of my parents,” she said. “So both my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow — and I still don’t believe it’s real. I’m freaking out.”

Savannah, 27, expressed gratitude to Trump, calling the decision a life-changing moment for her family.

“President Trump didn’t just commute their sentences. He gave them a full, unconditional pardon,” she said. “I will forever be grateful… He’s the reason my family is coming back together.”

High-Profile Case, High-Profile Support

The Chrisleys, stars of the long-running reality show Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted in 2022 on multiple federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million and tax evasion. They were sentenced to a combined 19 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.

According to federal prosecutors, the fraud spanned over a decade. The couple allegedly submitted false financial statements to banks and even used physically doctored documents when applying for loans and leasing properties.

Savannah had long lobbied for their release and was a speaker at the 2024 Republican National Convention, voicing her support for Trump and pleading for clemency. She told ABC News the pardon call came “totally out of the blue.”

“I kind of had gotten to a place where I had lost hope,” she said. “And then I got the call… It was just a shock. The president was so kind and loving.”

Next Steps for the Chrisley Family

With the full pardons, Todd and Julie Chrisley will have their records cleared and will no longer face probation or financial penalties stemming from the case. Todd was serving a 12-year sentence in a Florida federal facility, while Julie was serving seven years in Kentucky.

Savannah emphasized this moment represents a clean slate.

“My parents get to start their lives over… and for that, I am forever grateful.”

The pardons have drawn attention not only because of the couple’s celebrity status but also because of the scale of their financial crimes. Trump’s use of the pardon power — particularly for allies and public figures — has remained a source of public debate.
