Savannah Chrisley, the daughter of reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, praised President Donald Trump as she waited for her father to be released from a Florida prison.
“It’s all God and President Trump,” she told the press on Wednesday night.
The Chrisleys, best known for their Chrisley Knows Best TV show, were serving prison sentences for fraud and tax evasion.
They were convicted in 2022 and sentenced to 12 years (Todd) and seven years (Julie). The White House confirmed the couple’s full pardons on Tuesday.
“They didn’t believe it, it literally came out of nowhere,” Savannah said of her parents.
She said she was in a grocery store when she received a call from the president, and that she told her parents the news.
“It was amazing, my mom was in tears,” she said.
“I didn’t have to do anything, other than stand firm in my beliefs and convictions and fight for my parents and fight for what was right,” she added.
Savannah said the process had been “absolutely insane.”
“I’m just so grateful that I’m gonna leave here with my dad,” she added. “My brother Grayson is there to pick up my mom, so he’s waiting. President Trump signed the pardons, I think, at around 3 p.m. this afternoon, and it’s all due to President Trump, Alice Johnson, Ed Martin, all of them, they have truly just shown up, and they’ve looked at this case with a fine tooth comb, and they’ve seen the corruption.”
“And for many people that may not understand why this pardon is happening, there were Fourth Amendment violations,” she claimed.
Savannah went on to say that her father’s face had been placed on a “dart board.”
“I got here at well, I think it was 2 a.m. last night, and I have not gone to sleep,” she said. “I did not bring any clothes with me. I did not bring a toothbrush with me. I brought absolutely nothing with me, because I’m just a daughter who wants to take my dad home with me. “
“I was walking into the grocery store when I got the call from the president, and I was just in such shock and in such awe that the president himself called me and took the time to let me know that my family was coming back together,” said Savannah. “I will forever be grateful that we have an administration that is reuniting families.”
