Todd and Julie Chrisley’s son Chase breaks silence after his parents were pardoned by Trump

BBG News

Chase Chrisley, the son of Todd and Julie Chrisley, expressed gratitude towards President Trump and mentioned his faith in God after speaking out for the first time about his parents receiving an unexpected pardon from the president.

In 2022, the original cast members of ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ were found guilty of masterminding a $30 million banking fraud and tax evasion scam, and they are currently serving extended sentences in prison.

Julie was sentenced to serve in Kentucky until 2028, and Todd in Florida until 2032.

On Tuesday, Trump himself phoned Savannah Chrisley directly from the Oval Office to share with her that he had made a surprising choice to grant clemency to her parents.

Chase, aged 28, expressed joy over the legal decision in a statement sent to the New York Post: ‘I am deeply appreciative to God and profoundly grateful to President Trump and his entire team. I’m incredibly thankful to now have my parents back home and my family reunited once more!’

Chase was particularly active on Instagram as he rejoiced over the pardon. 

Chase, who featured on their family’s TV series, posted a picture on Instagram showing his parents holding hands while they celebrated Trump’s announcement.

What a wonderful news! Our family is reunited once more! I’m grateful to President Trump for his exceptional decision that made this happen. Thank you, Mr. President! Your kindness and leadership are truly appreciated by us. May God bless you and your entire family. Keep working hard to make America great again!

In a seemingly related manner, he posted a picture of himself kissing his grandmother Nanny Faye Chrisley on the cheek, titled “Victory Lap”, which seems to hint at the pardon.

He also posted a selfie of him and his brother Grayson, 19, wearing MAGA hats. 

In the caption of a selfie he shared on Instagram Stories, he expressed gratitude saying, “Thanks, Mr. President!!,” directed at Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, Savannah stated that she had a conversation with Trump and suggested the possibility of her parents being released as soon as tonight or the following day.

Savannah expressed, “I’ve cried so much,” she being the one wearing a white ‘Make America Great Again’ cap in the video.

The President phoned me directly while I was entering Sam’s Club, informing me that he was about to approve clemency documents for both of my parents.

‘So, both my parents are coming home tonight or tomorrow,’ she revealed.

Savannah couldn’t believe it when Trump phoned her, and she and her loved ones are absolutely shocked by this recent development.

She expressed heartfelt gratitude towards President Trump, his administration, and everyone involved throughout their journey.

Savannah additionally expressed gratitude towards her legal team and those who invested tireless hours, dedication, and affection in ensuring that her parents safely returned home.

She said that the family is in a mad dash to prepare for Todd and Julie’s return home.

She shared that we are sorting out clothing items for both mom and dad, with the aim of arranging their bedroom upstairs nicely.

Savannah has been left ‘speechless’ and said she is overcome with gratitude.

I can’t express enough gratitude towards all of you for standing by my family throughout our journey, for showing us love and providing support.

She went on to say, “To every political figure I’ve interacted with during the last 2.5 years who trusted in me and my family, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.”

Savannah appeared noticeably emotional as she acknowledged once more that the reality of her parents’ upcoming freedom still hasn’t sunk in.

I’m feeling quite anxious, but I need to hurry up and get ready to collect my parents. I truly appreciate your help. It’s wonderful news that they are returning home. They have the opportunity to begin anew with their lives.

Instead of commuting their sentences entirely, President Trump granted them a complete, unrestricted pardon. For this act, I will always be thankful. Thank you, President Trump.

Later, Savannah pledged to be by Trump’s side and his administration, to confront corruption, and to keep advocating for those incarcerated individuals who rely on her support.

She expressed, “As I encounter each individual, I’ll return their kindness, for which I am grateful to have a president like Donald J. Trump.

I’m deeply grateful for a leader who is committed to rebuilding families, someone who truly cares about people and demonstrates this affection genuinely. It was an extraordinary moment when I received a personal call from the Oval Office, sharing heartening news that my parents are regaining their lives. So, my heartfelt thanks go out to this compassionate president.

At the end of her video, Savannah emphasized the necessity of preparing both her home and herself to welcome her parents upon their release from prison.

She jokingly mentioned that she might put on her pink MAGA hat, then announced excitedly: ‘Let’s head out to fetch mom and dad now!’

Grayson, the younger sibling, too, utilized Instagram to express approval towards President Trump’s pardon, commending him for staying true to his promise.

I’m deeply grateful, Mr. President! You’ve truly been an answer to our prayers by reuniting my beloved family. Kudos to you, Sir! (This is Grayson, sharing your video about Savannah.)

According to Margo Martin, a White House advisor, the pardon was announced through a video she posted on social media showing the president talking on the phone with Savannah, accompanied by the caption: ‘Trump Has the Wisdom!’ – a reference to the popular title of their reality TV series.

While pushing for a pardon, Savannah has become a fixture in MAGAworld.

She went to the 2024 Republican National Convention and the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference, two occasions where Trump was the main act and supporters filled the place.

She appeared on the sidelines of last month’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The effort paid off when Savannah received a call Tuesday from the Oval Office.

The president conveyed to Savannah, “What a dreadful situation, what a dreadful situation,” but he quickly added, “However, it’s wonderful news as your parents will gain their freedom and purity. I’m hoping we can accomplish this by tomorrow; does that work for you?

Julie had been scheduled to spend her term in the Federal Medical Center, located in Lexington, Kentucky, up until January 2028.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Todd served his prison term at FPC Pensacola, remaining confined there until April 2032.

‘I don’t know them, but them give my regards,’ Trump also said. ‘Wish them a good life.’

On the phone, Savannah is audible expressing gratitude to the president while mentioning that her brother Grayson was also on the call with him.

At the University of Alabama, Grayson interjected, “Mr. President, I simply wanted to express my gratitude for reuniting my parents.

‘Yeah, well, they were given a pretty harsh treatment from what I’m hearing,’ Trump said.
