Savannah Chrisley is looking to President Donald Trump as she continues to seek freedom for her incarcerated parents Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley.

The patriarch and matriarch were infamously found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud in June 2022 after being indicted in 2019, leading to a 12-year-long prison sentence for Todd and a seven-year-long sentence for Julie. While Julie’s sentencing was vacated in June 2024, she was resentenced to the same seven-year prison stay in September 2024.

The Chrisley Knows Best alum revealed to People that she and her parents are aiming to secure the help of Trump in getting them pardoned.

“I know that I am going through the proper channels to do so, and I’m going to bring as much awareness to it as possible because these things should not happen,” she shared.

Savannah has been vocal about her pursuit of her parents’ release and giving updates on how they are doing , taking to social media when her parents were granted oral arguments by the appeals court in November 2023 and often opening up about their prison experiences on her Unlocked podcast.

While speaking with People, Savannah reflected on her and her family’s experiences, noting that they “thought it was going to end differently” and had lawyers who told them “it was going to end differently,” as well.

“We stood in the truth, and we stood in what we knew to be the truth,” she said. “We saw the corruption in Fulton County. We saw how the judge handled the case. We just saw all of it and we’re like, ‘There’s no way. There’s no way it’s going to end this way.’ But, it did.”

She told People, “I think that I’ve gone through a lot of shit in my life. I really have. And I’ve gone through a lot of things that I’ve never even publicly spoken about. When you fight silent battles, resilience just comes. When you fight silent battles, there was no one that was there for you. Whether you didn’t allow someone to be there for you, or whether you just didn’t have people there, you just learned to pick yourself up.”

Savannah has expressed her support for Trump, speaking at the Republican National Convention in July 2024 and citing her family’s “public profile and conservative beliefs” as reasoning behind them being accused of fraud. Her father reportedly tuned in to her speech from  FPC Pensacola, as his attorney, Jay Surgent, alleged to TMZ that Todd was “pretty damn impressed” by his daughter’s performance.

Savannah also shouted out her father, praising him to People as “a constant encourager.”

“[Resilience] just comes, I think, by having that encouragement,” she said. “Also, knowing that I don’t ever want to give up, and I want to give my future children something to look at and be proud of.”
