Todd Chrisley, star of Chrisley Knows Best, is making waves from behind bars, calling on former President Donald Trump for a pardon.
Chrisley, who’s currently serving a 12-year sentence for tax evasion and bank fraud, is pushing for the Trump administration to reconsider his case, with his lawyer, Jay Surgent, explaining that Todd “would like to be considered for a pardon.” Surgent added, “It’s up to President Trump to review the case, but Todd has faith that he will be given due consideration. He believes his rights were never properly protected.”
In an unexpected twist, Surgent also revealed that a prison guard allegedly removed Todd’s “Make America Great Again” sticker from his cell. The reality TV star did not protest, fearing retaliation. Surgent described Todd’s cell as regularly “shaken down,” with his mattress flipped, clothes searched, and even his personal books tossed. In one incident, Todd claims to have found his bed soaked in Pepsi—an act he calls an outright violation of his rights.
“They’re targeting him because of his political views,” Surgent said. “It’s not just about the charges, but the way he’s treated. This isn’t the America he thought he was defending.”
Todd’s wife, Julie, has been incarcerated since January 2023, also serving time for their shared convictions. She received a seven-year sentence, while Todd faces 12 years behind bars. Both were convicted in 2022 for their involvement in a bank fraud scheme.
Todd’s time in prison hasn’t been uneventful. The once-wealthy entrepreneur briefly worked as an administrative assistant to the Chaplain at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola’s chapel, but was fired after reportedly engaging in too much conversation with fellow inmates. According to Surgent, the real reason for his firing was more personal than professional: Todd’s tendency to be “too talkative” in a place where silence is the norm.
The Chrisleys, who have three children, continue to garner public support, especially from their daughter, Savannah. The 27-year-old often defends her parents on her “Unlocked” podcast, speaking out against the injustice she believes her family faces. In a recent episode, she even praised her father’s transformation behind bars, gushing about his new “gray look” and how he’s “rocking the prison barber style.”
Savannah has also become vocal in her support for President Trump, taking to Instagram to vent frustrations over vandalized Trump signs on her property. After receiving a letter from a neighbor asking her to remove the Trump posters, Savannah ripped the letter to pieces, an act she proudly shared with her followers.
As Todd Chrisley waits for a possible presidential pardon, he’s not just asking for forgiveness but also drawing attention to what he describes as political persecution inside the prison system. With his fate in the hands of Trump, Todd’s faith remains unwavering, and he’s ready to make his case to the 45th president.

I can see absolutely nothing justifying a pardon for this clown. He and his wife were just a pair of media entertainers who broke the law and got caught. They both simply should stay out of the limelight and quietly serve out their sentences.
But yet that f****** al sharpton who’s a big tax invader never paid a dime or went to prison. And he’s running around loose like he’s a big shot
