In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the couple's attorney explained how the "incredibly powerful" pardon will wipe the couple's case "entirely," as if it never happened.
"A pardon like this generally ends the case entirely, and so we'll see the fine print of the pardon explicitly, but generally when you are pardoned, it is wiped away, and so it's wiped clean," the Chrisley's attorney, Alex Little, a partner at Litson PLLC, said. "It's as if the case hasn't happened, and fortunately Todd and Julie will be able to pick up their lives to the best that they're able and go on forward and focus on the future."

"I think that the pardon process is something that hadn't been used by many presidents for many, many terms. This President clearly looks at it differently, looks at, is part of his role to oversee the criminal justice system. And look, however much you may want to criticize that, it's an incredibly powerful tool the President has, and I think it's really important the President began to use it. This was a very deserving case and I hope that he finds more."
Todd and Julie were convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022. The couple reported to prison on Jan. 17 and were sentenced to 12 and seven years, respectively. Their sentences were later reduced.
On Tuesday, Trump called the couple's daughter Savannah Chrisley, and son Chase Chrisley, to let them know of his plan to pardon their parents.
"It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow. Is that OK? We’ll try getting it done tomorrow," Trump told them in a phone call from the Oval Office that was posted onto an X account of a White House aide. The post was captioned in part, "Trump Knows Best!"
