Chase Chrisley has expressed gratitude after former President Donald Trump announced plans to pardon his parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are currently imprisoned. The couple, known for their reality TV show “Chrisley Knows Best,” was convicted in 2022 of defrauding banks out of over $36 million through false financial documents. Todd Chrisley received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie was sentenced to seven years for similar offenses.
Chase, 28, shared his appreciation with the New York Post, stating, “I’m beyond thankful to finally have my parents back home and my family together again!” Trump publicly confirmed the pardon during a call with Chase’s siblings, Savannah and Grayson. He remarked that while the situation was challenging, it was ultimately beneficial as it would reunite the family. Trump signaled his intention to finalize the pardons quickly, likely within 24 hours.
A White House spokesperson indicated that Trump aims to give deserving individuals a second chance, especially those perceived to have been unfairly prosecuted. The pardoning of the Chrisleys is part of a larger trend of contentious clemencies issued by Trump, which include pardons for over 1,500 individuals related to the January 6 Capitol attack and a recent pardon for a former sheriff in Virginia.
While the White House has not yet received the official pardon paperwork for the Chrisleys, the developments suggest a significant reconciliation for the family, following a tumultuous legal battle. The broader implications of these pardons paint a picture of the ongoing political dynamics surrounding clemency and justice in the U.S.
