President Donald Trump pardoned reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley after their daughter Savannah Chrisley visited him at the White House in February.
Trump called Savannah personally and informed her of his decision on Tuesday.
“It’s a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clear and I hope we can do this by tomorrow, is that Okay?” Trump told Savannah by phone from the Oval Office.

The Chrisleys, who are best known for the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, were convicted of white collar crimes including tax evasion and bank wire fraud in 2022.
Todd Chrisley, 56, was sentenced to 12 years at a federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida.
His wife Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven years at Federal Medical Center in Kentucky.
Savannah met with President Trump in February to personally ask him to free her parents.
In an Instagram post at the time, Savannah wrote: “The fight for justice is far from over. I will never stop fighting for my parents. I will never stop fighting for the millions of others crushed by the Department of Injustice. We will not be silenced.”
