00:05Todd, and Julie Chrisley have officially been pardoned in their ongoing case.

00:10On Tuesday, May 27th, President Donald Trump announced that he had granted Todd,

00:1556, and Julie, 52, full pardons. The longtime couple were previously convicted of tax evasion

00:22and bank fraud in 2022 before reporting to prison in January 2023.

00:27Trump, 78, also noted that Todd and Julie were

00:31given a pretty harsh treatment based on what I'm hearing.

00:35It's a terrible thing, but it's a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,

00:42Trump said to the couple's children via phone call.

00:45I hope we can do it by tomorrow. I don't know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good luck.

00:51The couple's daughter, Savannah Chrisley, reacted to the news on Instagram Live saying,

00:56My parents get to start their lives over. My phone is going bananas right now.

01:02But President Trump gave them a full, unconditional pardon, and for that I am forever grateful.

01:07Thank you, President Trump.

01:09Savannah, 27, also celebrated the news of her parents' imminent release in a statement,

01:15saying,

01:15For the past two and a half years, I've done everything in my power to fight for my parents' freedom

01:20and bring them home.

01:23This moment is the answer to countless prayers,

01:25and I am beyond grateful to President Trump for seeing the truth and restoring my family.

01:31This administration does not hand out favors.

01:33It examines the facts and stands up for what is right.

01:36I also want to thank Alice Marie Johnson for her unwavering support

01:41and our attorney Alex Little for being an essential part of this process, she continued.

01:47Today is a victory for our family, but the fight against wrongful convictions and

01:51injustice within our prison system is far from over.

01:55I will continue to use my voice and platform to advocate for those who do not have one, she added.

02:01Family is everything to me, and I will never stop fighting for what is right.

02:05Todd and Julie were initially indicted in August 2019 before being sentenced in November 2022

02:11to a combined 19 years in prison.

02:15They had been appealing their case ever since.

02:18Initially, Julie's appeal was granted due to insufficient evidence, while Todd's was upheld.

02:23However, a separate judge later ruled that her original punishment was sufficient.

02:27Their original sentences were reduced in September 2023.

02:30Amid their imprisonment, Savannah had become the sole caretaker of the pair's youngest children,

02:37Grayson, 19, and Chloe, 12, at just 25 years old.

02:41The couple also share Sunchase, 28, while Todd also had children Lindsay, 35, and Kyle, 33, during a previous marriage.

02:48I wasn't expecting to get two kids, Savannah told people in a February feature.

02:55So, between that, legal expenses, too.

02:58Fight for my parents, I am just like anyone else out here.

03:01Sure, I put a smile on my face, I look the part, I play the part.

03:05But it doesn't mean I actually am the part.

03:08You fake it till you make it.

03:09That's the world that we live in.

03:12I've struggled.

03:13All the while, the Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast host has continued to fight for her parents' return home.

03:21She even revealed to people earlier this year that they had plans to seek a pardon from Trump.

03:26Savannah had previously spoken at the Republican National Convention in 2024 in support of Trump

03:31and reflected on her parents' predicament in her speech.

03:34I know that I am going through the proper channels to do so, the good girl Rx founder said,

03:40and I'm going to bring as much awareness to it as possible because these things should not happen.

03:45Next, the Chrisley family is gearing up.

03:48To star in an all-new docuseries for Lifetime,

03:51people confirmed that the series, which succeeds USA Network's Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley,

03:56will see the brood exposing the raw truth of their lives, past and present.

04:01And the reality is far different from what audiences have seen before.

04:06It doesn't currently have a release date and was originally not set to feature the famed patriarchs.
