Todd Chrisley Recalls Trump Pardon Call After 2.5 Years in Prison

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 16

Summary

  • Todd Chrisley said on Sean Hannity’s podcast that a corrections officer stopped him returning from the prison library and told him he had been pardoned and would go home within hours.
  • Chrisley said he then called daughter Savannah in tears to confirm the news after Trump had phoned her directly as she left a Sam’s Club.
  • Savannah immediately shifted to logistics—lining up a plane for Todd and sending her brothers to pick up Julie Chrisley, who was also pardoned.
  • Trump pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley in May 2025, and the couple left prison after serving about 2.5 years of a combined 19-year sentence tied to bank fraud and tax evasion convictions.
  • The interview revisits a case in which the Chrisleys have maintained their innocence and Savannah became the family’s leading public advocate for their release.
