President Donald Trump said he plans to issue a pardon for the Chrisley Knows Best couple, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are currently serving time after being convicted of a massive $36 million bank fraud and tax evasion scheme.
A video was posted online, showing Trump speaking on the phone with the Chrisley children.
“Your parents are going to be free and clean and I hope we can do that by tomorrow,” he said. “I don’t know them but give them my regards, and wish them a good life.”

According to prosecutors, Todd and Julie used bogus paperwork to scam millions, splurging on everything from Bentleys to high-end clothing, plush properties, and luxury vacations, using fresh fraudulent loans to cover up old ones.
Eventually, Todd even filed for bankruptcy while continuing to duck taxes, allegedly hiding TV income to avoid coughing up a $500K bill.
Despite trying to pin the blame on a former employee, the Chrisleys were convicted in 2022 following a three-week trial. Todd received a 12-year bid, while Julie received a 7-year sentence. Their accountant, Peter Tarantino, also went down, serving three years in prison.
