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. MORE: 'Still don't believe it's real': Savannah Chrisley reacts to parents being pardoned by Trump Their daughter Savannah Chrisley, 26, emerged as their strongest advocate, campaigning for their release while also becoming legal guardian to her younger brother Grayson and niece Chloe. "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.

Last-minute changes to Senate's 'big, beautiful bill' stun clean energy industry (and Elon Musk)
The Senate is making a final push to advance President Trump's signature legislation with a flurry of last-minute changes that stunned Elon Musk and the already besieged clean energy industry while offering new support for fossil fuels. The controversy surrounding the bill's energy approach is just one front in a frenzied final push with plenty of additional attention on the price tag after a new weekend tally found that bill has grown by nearly $1 trillion since the Senate took it up. Meanwhile a grueling final Senate push to approve the package cleared a key procedural hurdle over the weekend, with consideration continuing and an amendment process expected to take up much of Monday before a final vote later Monday or perhaps Tuesday. The energy provisions of the 900-plus page bill have come in for particular scrutiny after last minute changes phased out clean energy tax credits faster than expected and also added new taxes on wind and solar projects. At the same time, new last minute inducements were unveiled for fossil fuels, including one classifying coal as a critical mineral when it comes to a government manufacturing credit. "We're doing coal," Trump said in an interview released over the weekend on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures" where he also called solar energy projects "ugly as hell." The mix left fossil fuel advocates celebrating and clean energy advocates slamming the bill at a new higher volume. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Musk — who worked in the White House before his dramatic falling out with the president — was perhaps the loudest voice in the latter group. He issued a series of weekend posts calling the bill "utterly insane and destructive [with] handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future." The energy changes came as top-line costs of the deal remained a key point of contention. A nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office tally released over the weekend showed the revised bill would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt. That assessment, which does not include additional interest costs, comes after a similar analysis of the House package found a $2.4 trillion tab. Trump suggested Republicans look past the deficit implications in one of his weekend posts, urging passage as soon as possible saying he also wants to cut costs but adding to lawmakers: "REMEMBER, you still have to get reelected." He also made a case that White House projections of blockbuster economic growth (dismissed by many economists as fantastical) will make the math add up in the end. The focus on energy comes after weeks of debate over Biden-era energy credits. The initial Senate blueprint had offered a slower rollback of clean energy credits for things like solar panels and electric vehicles but last minute changes to the bill put it more in line with the harder line House version which seeks to eliminate the credits sooner. Some provisions are even more immediate with the Senate version proposing to eliminate EV credits by September 30 of this year. And on top of that, a new tax was unveiled when the bill was released that would not just eliminate government help for renewable energy projects — but add a new cost for wind and solar projects completed after 2027 if a certain amount of supplies came from China. The changes stunned many clean energy advocates — not just Musk — with a statement from the American Clean Power Association saying the effect would be to "strand hundreds of billions of dollars in current investments." What that could means for consumers down the road — some concluded — are higher utility bills as currently under construction AI data centers are set to increase electricity demand in the years ahead. Some are even projecting double digit price increases in some utility bills by 2029. An analysis from the left-leaning Center for American Progress found that the bill would exacerbate existing upward pressure on utility prices, with Democratic Senator Brian Schatz adding "we are literally going to have not enough electricity because Trump is killing solar." Fossil fuels advocates meanwhile were largely ebullient at the last minute changes which saw existing fossil fuel focused provisions — around issues like permitting, lease sales, and methane emissions fees — joined by some new credits for these producers including for coal. Senate Republicans say the bill will generate over $15 billion in new federal revenue through expanded oil, gas, and coal leasing with leaders with Senator John Barasso of Wyoming saying "America is an energy superpower and once again, we are going to act like it." The bill is also set to be even more expensive after weeks of negotiations saw expensive compromises on issues like state and local tax (SALT) deductions, more generous business tax credits, and the adjustment of some cost savings around Medicaid. The fullest accounting came over the weekend when the CBO estimated the Senate bill would increase the debt by nearly $3.3 trillion from 2025 to 2034. The analysis also found that 11.8 million additional Americans would become uninsured by 2034 because of the health care provisions — an increase over the findings for the House-passed version that tallied that 10.9 million people would be without health coverage of that version passed. The bill is projected to be even more expensive after things like interest costs are included, with the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget protecting the current total tally as in the neighborhood of $3.5 to $4.2 trillion over the next decade. "The debt impact could rise as high as $4.5 trillion if various rumored adjustments are made," the group added of potential additional changes still to come. The findings also come as Senate Republicans push forward on a budget gimmick that is set to hide $3.8 trillion in red ink using a "current policy baseline" that Democrats say violated Senate rules but appears set to proceed. Either way the sky-high debt findings could imperil the bill politically, with two GOP senators already likely to vote no and others not yet saying they will back Trump's effort to get this over the line in the coming hours. The bill will also need to be approved by the House if the amended package advances and is then considered by a bloc of fiscal conservatives there who say they barely voted in May for that less expensive version. One initial comment from the House Freedom Caucus was negative, with the group writing that the new tally was above "our agreed budget framework."
