Todd Chrisley joins Greta Van Susteren on “Greta Wire” for a powerful conversation about his return to television, his 28 months in federal prison, President Trump’s pardon, prison reform, faith, family, and his battle for judicial accountability.
The Chrisley Knows Best star opens up about the emotional moment he learned he had been pardoned, the phone call with his daughter Savannah, his reunion with Julie, and the young men he says he mentored while behind bars. Todd also explains why he is now focused on prison reform and speaks out about what he believes are serious failures inside the justice system.
Greta and Todd also discuss Judge Eleanor Ross, the 11th Circuit, and the broader issue of whether Americans can trust that ordinary citizens get a fair shake in court.
