Todd and Julie Chrisley received some big news this past week, as U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he would pardon them years after they were found guilty of bank fraud and more. Since then, the "Chrisley Knows Best" stars have been released from their respective prisons and have reunited with their relatives. The person responsible for the pair’s clemency is Alice Marie Johnson, who serves as the Trump Administration’s “pardon czar.” Johnson, who’s experienced incarceration herself, now has advice for the Chrisleys.
Alice Marie Johnson was very instrumental in working towards the Chrisleys’ release. The pair’s daughter, Savannah even referred to her hiring as “the greatest appointment that President Trump could have ever done.” Following the pardon, Johnson took some time to speak with NewsNation about how everything came together. Talk eventually turned to what the Chrisleys might do now that they’re no longer behind bars. Johnson believes the couple is ready to fight for criminal justice reform, but she also provided some words of caution.
