From Prison to Pardon: Todd and Julie Chrisley first interview Since Trump Pardon
Todd and Julie Chrisley: In a stunning turn of events, reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley—best known for Chrisley Knows Best—have been fully pardoned by former President Donald Trump after serving time for bank fraud and tax evasion. Now, in their first televised interview since their release, the couple will sit down with Lara Trump on Fox News to discuss their ordeal, their pardon, and what’s next for the embattled family.
Who Are Todd and Julie Chrisley?
Todd and Julie Chrisley: Before their legal troubles, Todd and Julie Chrisley were beloved reality TV stars, known for their USA Network hit Chrisley Knows Best. The show, which ran for 10 seasons, showcased their lavish lifestyle in Atlanta and Nashville, drawing millions of viewers.

- Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison.
- Julie Chrisley received a 7-year sentence.
- Both were ordered to surrender their assets before reporting to prison in January 2023.
Donald Trump’s Full Pardon: A Second Chance
On May 28, 2025, former President Donald Trump—himself a reality TV star (The Apprentice)—granted the Chrisleys a full pardon, leading to their immediate release.
- Todd was freed from FPC Pensacola (Florida).
- Julie was released from FMC Lexington (Kentucky).
Just two days later, Todd held a press conference in Nashville, where he thanked supporters and hinted at his upcoming interview with Lara Trump.

Final Thoughts: A Controversial Comeback
The Chrisleys’ journey—from reality-TV stardom to legal ruin, and now a controversial redemption—strikes a dramatic chord. Their exclusive interview with Lara Trump on June 28 marks their first public TV appearance since receiving presidential pardons from Donald Trump in late May. The conversation revisits their legal saga, addresses sensitive allegations like Julie’s 2012 breast cancer and Savannah’s strong advocacy, and teases their upcoming Lifetime docuseries. As they step back into the spotlight, the discussion will likely reignite debates around celebrity influence, justice, and political favoritism. By putting a human face on their story, the Chrisleys may reshape public perception—but their return also sparks critical questions about accountability and the power of notoriety. Thanks!
