Chrisley Thanks Trump and Calls Out Justice System
Todd Chrisley stood before the press in Nashville for the first time since walking out of prison. Pardoned by President Donald Trump, the former reality star wasted no time declaring his innocence. “Even though I’ve been pardoned, I was still convicted of something I didn’t do,” Chrisley said. “And that could happen to anyone in this room.”
He thanked Trump, Alice Johnson — Trump’s pardon czar — and his daughter, Savannah, for pushing his case forward. “There’s no shame here,” Todd added. “Shame is a cancer, and I won’t let it grow.”
Savannah Chrisley: ‘I Fought for This’
Savannah Chrisley stood strong at her father’s side, dismissing critics who claimed their celebrity status earned the pardon. “This had nothing to do with fame,” she said. “I begged for meetings. I worked every angle.”
Savannah had lobbied hard through both of Trump’s terms, even speaking at the Republican National Convention. She said justice reform is now a personal mission. “I’ll never stop fighting,” she vowed.
Chrisley Denies Remorse, Calls Trial a ‘Set-Up’
When asked about his wife Julie’s courtroom apology, Todd got heated. “Defendants are forced to grovel for lighter sentences,” he said. “It’s all about control, not truth.” He said he felt “numb” when he learned of the pardon and immediately thought of the prisoners he was leaving behind.
“They lined up to say goodbye,” he recalled. “They told me, ‘Don’t forget us.’ I never will.”
Reality Star Returns to Cameras
Chrisley also revealed he’s already back in front of cameras. “We started filming the night we got home,” he said with a grin. “There are offers rolling in.” Savannah hinted at multiple new shows featuring her dad. “It’s going to make life easier,” she said.
The Comeback Begins
Now free, Todd and Savannah say they’re not just returning to television. They’re launching a campaign to fix the justice system and reveal what they call corruption in the Department of Justice. “We’re going to expose everything,” Todd promised.
