Julie Chrisley's emotional reaction to the news of President Trump’s pardon

The TV personality, Julie, along with her husband Todd, daughter Savannah, and son Grayson, appeared in the preview clip for an episode of My View With Lara Trump.

In the clip, Chrisley shared her emotional reaction to the pardon news, as per People. She said:

"I called Savannah one more time, and she said, 'He did it, he signed it.' And I just started busting out crying. And everyone was looking around, and then I just hung up. I was so nervous, I just hung up.''

She continued:

"It was the craziest thing, and everybody was just looking at me, because unfortunately, most of the news that you get in prison is bad news. So they're like, 'Are you okay?' I'm like, 'I am. I'm getting out of here. I'm getting out of here!'''

As Julie narrated her reaction, Todd also described his reaction to the pardon news. He said:

"This guy stops me and goes, 'Man, I think you just got pardoned.' And I said, 'Yeah, okay.' And I just kept on walking. So when I went into my dorm, one of the guys, the COs, he came by and he goes, 'Are you good?' And I said, 'As good as I can be.' And he said, 'Todd, you just got pardoned. They sent me down here to make sure you're okay.'''

He continued:

"I said, 'Well, they don't need to be worrying about me now. Hell, if I'm pardoned, I'm great...' God led the people to advocate for us. And so I'm grateful because every night I would pray that God would return me home to my wife and my children. And he did that, so I'm grateful.''

This was Julie's first interview after she and her husband received the pardon, exactly a month ago. The episode is hosted by Lara Trump, who is Donald Trump's daughter-in-law. The episode will be coming out this Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 9 PM ET on Fox News Channel.
