Chrisleys reveal prison conditions, future plans after controversial Trump pardon
In one of their first interview since being released from federal prison, reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley spoke out about their experience behind bars and their controversial presidential pardon. The former "Chrisley Knows Best" stars were freed about one month ago after serving just over two years of their sentences for bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. They were originally sentenced to 12 and seven years respectively, but received a pardon from President Donald Trump in May. "You don't realize how much your freedom means to you until you don't have it," Todd Chrisley told ABC News' Juju Chang. ABC News Studios' "IMPACT x Nightline: The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup" is streaming on Hulu. The couple revealed that their first post-prison meals were from Pizza Hut and Zaxby's. As for the first shower back in their own home? "It was almost like your first sexual encounter," Todd joked. The couple described difficult conditions in prison, with Todd reporting issues of black mold and asbestos at his facility in Florida. Julie, who was held in Kentucky, said she developed health problems including asthma. "I could see my health deteriorating," Julie told ABC News. The Federal Bureau of Prisons responded to the Chrisleys' claims about prison conditions, stating they operate "facilities that are safe, secure, and humane" with regulated temperatures and nutritionally adequate meals.

"I forced myself into rooms I was never invited into. I educated myself," Savannah told ABC News of her efforts to secure her parents' freedom. The pardon came after Savannah, a vocal Trump supporter, spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention. She received a personal call from the president informing her of his decision to pardon her parents. Critics questioned whether the Chrisleys deserved the pardon, noting that both a jury convicted them and an appeals court upheld the conviction. Todd defended their pardon, questioning the makeup of their jury and comparing their case to other presidential pardons.

"I don't have an apology to give you or anyone else over the money that I've made," Todd said. The couple said they're now focused on prison reform, inspired by the people they encountered while incarcerated. "I have met some amazing women. I've met some women that I will be friends with till the day that I die," Julie said. "Chrisley Knows Best" aired on USA Network from 2014 to 2023, filming mostly in Georgia and Tennessee. The family plans to return to television with a new show on the Lifetime network. Todd and Julie said they are considering relocating to Charleston, South Carolina, where they hope to convert a mansion into a hotel -- with cameras rolling. "I've always told my children that it doesn't matter what someone else's opinion is of you unless it causes you to question who you are at your core," Todd said. "No one's opinion of me has ever caused me to question who I am at the core, so I don't worry about someone else's opinion." ABC News' Karin Weinberg, Anthony McMahon and Deborah Kim contributed to this report.

New inquest date set into wife murdered in street
A further inquest hearing into the death of a woman who was murdered by her husband in Bradford city centre has been set. Habibur Masum, 26, repeatedly stabbed 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter after confronting her while she pushed their seven-month-old son in a pram on 6 April 2024. Masum was found guilty of her murder on Friday after a three-week trial at Bradford Crown Court. The inquest into his wife's death opened on 12 April 2024 but was suspended until the criminal proceedings concluded. At Bradford Coroner's Court on Monday, assistant coroner Angela Brocklehurst set a new hearing date of 29 July. Ms Brocklehurst said that due to "the wishes of the family of the deceased" the new hearing would take place "for further consideration". Masum, of Leamington Avenue in Burnley, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of a bladed article but was convicted of murder after a trial. He was also convicted of one count of assault by beating, making a threat to kill and stalking. Ms Akter had been living in a refuge in the city since January after Masum held a knife to her throat at their home in Oldham. Masum later confronted her in the city centre having tracked her through her phone location. He pulled a knife from his jacket and stabbed her more than 25 times after she refused to go with him. Masum has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on 22 July. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
