President Donald Trump pardoned reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley on Tuesday, calling their daugher Savannah and informing her of his decision.
The Chrisleys, who starred in the television show ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ and several spin-offs were found guilty of defrauding banks out of $30 million.
Julie Chrisley is serving time in Kentucky, while Todd Chrisley is serving time in Florida.
White House aide Margo Martin revealed the pardon by posting video of the president on the phone with Savannah, captioning the post: ‘Trump Knows Best!’ a play on the couple’s breakout reality TV show title.
While pushing for a pardon, Savannah has become a fixture in MAGAworld.
She attended the 2024 Republican National Convention and the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference – both events where Trump was the headliner and aides and allies were everywhere.
She appeared on the sidelines of last month’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The effort paid off when Savannah received a call Tuesday from the Oval Office.

‘That’s a terrible thing, that’s a terrible thing,’ the president told Savannah. ‘But it’s a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean and I hope we can do it by tomorrow, is that OK?’
‘I don’t know them, but them give my regards,’ Trump also said. ‘Wish them a good life.’
Savannah did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
