Overview

• On May 27, President Trump granted full pardons to Todd and Julie Chrisley for their 2022 convictions on bank fraud and tax evasion.
• Joe Exotic took to social media to condemn the decision, posting “I guess being innocent is not enough in America” and accusing the White House of overlooking evidence in his case.
• He is five years into a 21-year federal sentence for plotting a murder-for-hire against Carole Baskin and is being treated for aggressive prostate cancer at a Texas medical center.
• Earlier this month, ICE deported his husband, Jorge Flores Maldonado, to Tamaulipas, Mexico, where he says he faces active cartel threats and kidnapping risks.
• Exotic continues to assert his wrongful conviction claims, citing alleged entrapment, perjured testimony and collusion within federal agencies as grounds for clemency.
