Kyle Chrisley Reacts with Joy After Trump Grants Clemency to Todd and Julie Chrisley

Kyle Chrisley is celebrating the news that his father, Todd Chrisley, and stepmother, Julie Chrisley, have been officially pardoned by former President Donald Trump.

The surprising announcement came on Tuesday, May 27, after Kyle’s sister, Savannah Chrisley, revealed the development during a public statement. According to Savannah, Trump personally informed her of his decision via a phone call, expressing concern over the severity of their punishment.

“I’m over the moon,” Kyle, 33, said in a statement shared with the media. “I only just heard about it, and I’m still trying to process everything. It’s incredible.”

Todd and Julie Chrisley’s Legal Battle

Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, were convicted of financial crimes, including tax evasion and bank fraud, back in 2022. Their legal troubles began in 2019, and after a high-profile trial, they were sentenced to a total of 19 years behind bars. The couple had been pursuing appeals in the hopes of overturning the convictions.

Family Reactions to the Pardon

Kyle, whose relationship with his father has faced many challenges over the years, expressed gratitude toward both his sister and the former president. “Savannah has worked tirelessly for this. Her determination is the reason this happened, and I’m thankful to her and to President Trump.”

Despite past tensions, Kyle voiced hope for healing within the family. “They just want to come home and be with their loved ones. I’m staying optimistic that we can move forward and rebuild.”

Grayson Chrisley, the youngest son in the family, also shared his excitement on social media, posting, “PRAISE GOD!!!! Thank you Mr. President for bringing my family back,” alongside an image of Trump in the Oval Office.

Family Drama Still Lingers

While the pardon has brought the family back into the spotlight, not all relationships appear to be mended. On a 2024 episode of her Unlocked podcast, Savannah openly discussed the strained dynamic between Todd and Kyle, highlighting past emotional turmoil. “My dad has every reason to keep his distance,” she said, describing her brother’s behavior as manipulative and harmful.

“He’s played the victim for too long,” she added. “We’re at a point now where setting boundaries is necessary for our mental and emotional health.”

What’s Next for the Chrisleys?

With the legal chapter potentially coming to a close, the Chrisley family may now turn their focus toward healing and rebuilding. A new reality series chronicling their return to normal life has already been confirmed, promising a raw and honest look into their post-prison journey.
