How Julie Chrisley Reacted To Donald Trump's Pardon News
It has been nearly a month since Todd and Julie Chrisley regained their freedom, but they still can't believe their luck. The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars recently recounted their reactions to 's presidential pardon of their crimes after spending over two years behind bars. Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion and received a combined 19-year sentence. They regained their freedom on May 27, 2025. The Chrisley family recently sat down for their first joint interview since Todd and Julie's release from prison. Their conversation was captured in an upcoming episode of FOX News Channel's "My View With Lara Trump," with a teaser clip revealing the couple's reactions to Trump's pardon. Julie told the president's daughter-in-law that she heard about the pardon through her daughter, Savannah. She recalled bursting into tears after hearing the news, noting she nervously hung up the phone as she tried to wrap her head around the update. The matriarch wasn't the only one who had a hard time accepting the news, as her husband echoed similar sentiments. Todd believed the people in prison were teasing him about Trump's pardon until a correctional officer came to his cell to confirm the news, per TMZ. Although Trump granted Todd and Julie full pardons for their crimes, the couple did not give the president all the credit for their release. The Chrisley family's head stressed that God had directed people to advocate for him and Julie. Todd claimed he prayed every night to be reunited with his wife and children, and the Almighty granted his wish by leading Trump to pardon the couple's crimes. The Chrisleys are well-known for their faith and refused to be defeated during their journey to freedom. Last September, The Blast shared that Julie faced an emotional trial in her attempt to gain a 24-hour furlough amid her resentencing appeal. She had apologized tearfully in court for her wrongdoings, noting the most challenging part of her ordeal was leaving her children. Although Julie implored the court to return her to her young children, with her kids also sending letters to sway the judge, the legal umpire was unimpressed. The judge noted that she was concerned for Julie's children; however, their privileged lifestyle was another factor. The judge explained that Julie could not "get a pass from criminal conduct" because of her status as a mother and determined that her 7-year sentence was sufficient to pay for her involvement in bank fraud and tax evasion. The ruling broke the family's hearts, with one of Julie's attorneys, Jay Surgent, calling BS on the verdict. Surgent accused the judge of prejudice, claiming Julie's 24-hour furlough and resentencing appeal were denied because of her celebrity status. The lawyer argued that the judge used his client as a scapegoat to warn others instead of considering the fact that Julie was not a danger to society. Following Todd and Julie's release from prison in May, the couple, their daughter Savannah, and their legal team held a press conference in Nashville. The Blast covered the story, reporting that the family remained adamant about their innocence, especially Todd. The TV personality doubled down on being wrongfully convicted while claiming his months behind bars had changed his perspective about the criminal justice system. He expressed his will to fight against the injustices that federal inmates experienced nationwide. Additionally, Todd highlighted the poor conditions Black inmates were allegedly subjected to and vowed to expose the irregularities in the prison system. He also applauded Savannah's efforts in securing his and Julie's freedom and thanked those who stood by them. The Chrisleys were an emotional mess after Trump pardoned Todd and Julie, with The Blast sharing that Savannah did not fully accept reality. A day after she and her brother Grayson had picked up their parents from their respective holding facilities in Florida and Kentucky, the media personality told the press about her stunned reaction to the news. Savannah described the situation as a miracle, saying: "It's still just kind of ... it doesn't feel real. We were going to bed last night. We're like, 'Is this real?' And then, I wake up this morning and my mom's walking into my bedroom and I'm like, it's absolutely insane!" The "Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley" podcast host noted her family was still adjusting to the change and regaining their usual dynamic. However, their lost rhythm did not impact their love for each other, and Savannah believed her parents would open up about their feelings in time. Are the Chrisleys finally having their happily-ever-after?

JD Vance warns Iran after ceasefire: 'If they want to build a nuclear weapon…'
Soon after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, his deputy JD Vance warned Iran against trying to build nuclear weapons in the future. Vice President JD Vance checks his phone just before his interview with Bret Baier on FOX News Channel's Special Report in Washington.(AP) In a televised interview shortly after Trump announced the ceasefire, Vance underscored the administration's intent to deter Iran from restarting its nuclear program. 'If they want to build a nuclear weapon in the future, they're going to have to deal with a very, very powerful American military again,' Vance said. Trump announces ceasefire Trump's ceasefire announcement came hours after Iran launched missiles at US airbases in Qatar, and Iraq. 'Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World (sic),' Trump posted on Truth Social. A senior White House official told Reuters that Trump personally brokered the deal in a direct call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. US officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff also played key roles, holding quiet talks with Iranian counterparts to help seal the agreement. Fallout from US strikes The breakthrough came just two days after the US launched surprise airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Trump claimed the sites were 'completely and totally obliterated,' though damage assessments are ongoing and questions linger about the whereabouts of Iran's enriched uranium. Iran's retaliatory response, missile launches at Qatar, a close regional ally hosting the US Central Command, appeared more symbolic than strategic. The barrage was intercepted, and Qatar confirmed the base had been evacuated in advance. 'Plenty of warning was given - Qatar shut its airspace and the US issued warnings to citizens,' said Ziad Daoud, chief emerging-market economist at Bloomberg Economics. The number of missiles launched matched the US strike count, in what Iranian media framed as a performative gesture to claim parity.

White House: Musk has ‘a right to speak for his companies'
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday said that tech billionaire Elon Musk has the right to speak out on behalf of his companies amid the ongoing feud between President Trump and the Tesla CEO. The two had an explosive and public divorce on Thursday, during which they exchanged insults including Musk's claims that Trump wouldn't have won the 2024 presidential race without Musk's help, that files on the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein were being kept secret to protect the president, and Trump floating canceling government contracts with Musk's companies. Leavitt was asked on FOX News Channel's 'Hannity' about the falling out between Trump and Musk, who went from close allies to sparring publicly about the megabill, known as the 'one big, beautiful bill.' 'Tonight, the president's focus and the focus of the entire White House remains on passing the one big, beautiful bill. And as your audience just saw, on Friday, just days ago, the president graciously hosted Elon Musk in the Oval Office and Elon thanked the president for his incredible leadership to cut waste, fraud and abuse in our government, which this one big, beautiful bill does,' Leavitt said. She added, 'So the only difference between Friday and today is Elon went back to his companies. And, as a businessman, he has a right to speak for his companies. But as president, President Trump has a responsibility to fight for this country.' Musk earlier this week called for the megabill to be killed, calling it 'an abomination' and 'pork-filled' due to its effects on federal deficits. The president said in the Oval Office Thursday that he was 'very surprised' and 'disappointed' by Musk's harsh criticism of the legislation and that he was uncertain about the future of their relationship. The situation then quickly escalated with Musk and Trump posting back and forth on Truth Social and X, respectively. Trump said Musk 'just went crazy' because a key provision in the megabill takes away the tax credit for electric vehicles that benefited his company. 'I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump said. Musk officially left his government role last Friday after leading the Department of Government Efficiency and its efforts to slash government spending. The president held a press conference with Musk to mark his exit, during which he thanked him for his work on the government overhaul and gifted him a key to the White House.
