President Trump Pardons Todd and Julie Chrisley

Litson PLLC announced today that its clients, Todd and Julie Chrisley, will soon be released from prison pursuant to a full pardon from President Donald J. Trump. The firm represented the Chrisleys after they were convicted in 2022 and led efforts to obtain a pardon from the White House and the Department of Justice earlier this year.

“This pardon corrects a deep injustice and restores two devoted parents to their family and community,” said Alex Little, partner at Litson PLLC. “President Trump recognized what we’ve argued from the beginning: Todd and Julie were targeted because of their conservative values and high profile. Their prosecution was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias.”

The Chrisleys’ pardon petition detailed serious misconduct by the government, including an illegal raid, reliance on tainted evidence, and a trial that featured false testimony from a key government witness. During their incarceration, both Todd and Julie demonstrated exemplary conduct — Julie earning 43 educational certificates and Todd’s advocacy for better prison conditions led to the closure of a dangerous federal prison.

The pardon petition, supported by members of Congress, political and civic leaders, and community advocates, highlighted the devastating impact the prosecution had on the Chrisley family, including their minor children and elderly parents. Their daughter Savannah Chrisley spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where she publicly thanked President Trump for standing up against political prosecutions and fighting for families like hers.

“Todd and Julie’s case is exactly why the pardon power exists: to correct misguided prosecutions and reaffirm basic constitutional protections,” said Little. “Thanks to President Trump, the Chrisley family can now begin healing and rebuilding their lives.”
