Just hours after the U.S. President issued a surprise presidential pardon, Savannah Chrisley broke her silence with an emotional video revealing how the news reached her — and what comes next for her family.

Donald Trump has officially granted a full presidential pardon to reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of “Chrisley Knows Best,” in their high-profile tax evasion and bank fraud case.

The announcement was made public on May 28, 2025, by Margo Martin, Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor, through a post on X, sparking a buzz.

The president defended his decision by describing the couple’s sentencing as “pretty harsh treatment.” In a phone call to the couple’s children, he stated, “It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean.”

Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson, further elaborated on the decision in a statement released the same day. He explained that the president is “always pleased to give well-deserving Americans a second chance, especially those who have been unfairly targeted and overly prosecuted by an unjust justice system.”
