Background
Todd Chrisley is a reality television personality and star of "Chrisley Knows Best," which aired on USA Network. He and his wife Julie were convicted in 2022 of federal financial crimes.
The Case
In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of conspiracy to defraud community banks and tax evasion. Prosecutors alleged they conspired to obtain over $30 million in personal loans from banks in the Atlanta area by submitting false financial documents, then used the funds for luxury cars, designer clothes, real estate, and travel while evading taxes on the income. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Julie to 7 years. The scheme defrauded lenders and deprived the government of tax revenue, undermining the integrity of the banking system and honest taxpayers who pay their obligations.
The Pardon
On May 28, 2025, President Trump granted Todd Chrisley a full pardon. He was released from federal custody the same day.
